If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times:

If you never eject anyone, you simply have not been doing your job.

Show me an umpire who would not toss a coach for addressing the crowd concerning the umpiring, plus pointing at the umpire while doing so, and I'll show you an extremely weak official.

I would not care to work with an umpire who is afraid or unwilling to eject when warranted by a situation, and this situation is an automatic EJ. This "I just try to get along/don't rock the boat" mentality is the reason coaches come up with that "where's my warning" crap when they get tossed.

Hey Big Guy and other non-ejectors: I can eject a coach just fine from short right field. I don't need to leave my rest position to accomplish it.
