Umpires have authority from the moment they step on the field until they leave the property.
Basically this is all I needed, although all comments are appreciated and warranted. Sometimes, as in this case, people must be reminded that coaching is a priviledge. T-ball is extremely problematic, as every parent, and parent coach thinks there kid is the next Chipper Jones. As the most troublesome league, it is usually our youngest and most inexperienced umpires that get these assignments. Unfortunately some coaches will take advantage of this and attempt to intimidate these young umpires. This is where I step in, and trust me all, these guys have, and will continue to get booted.
For the love of the game.
