You bet I hold them to a higher standard. We had a father/son team that coached 12 year old all-stars this past season. I have umpired with both. I have ejected the son twice during tournament play for being WAY out of line. Both times he rushed onto the field(as an assistant) and argued the call. He knows better. Pops agreed that kiddo's behavior was wrong( and that I got the calls right).
Kiddo also tried to blow smoke up my rump by screaming that F2 cannot throw to unoccupied third base to nail a runner. I just laughed at him that time.
