Scenario #1. Fan is dropping f-bombs in a FED game... I call time.... walk off the field and find "game management" who is usually 500 yards away at the gate collecting gate fees, I tell them i have a fan that needs to go, they proceed to walk with me back to the field, we have a nice little chat about our children and the weather, upon returning to the field, he/she asks ok who is causing the problem? I point at the person, he/she asks me "do they need to go?" I nod yes.... he/she proceeds to remove the person.
Scenario #2. Fan is dropping f-bombs in a FED game... I call time.. point at the person and say sir/ma'am you are gone. watch fan leave... announce play ball. between innings i send a runner to tell game management that a fan has been ejected (with details as to what team they were with and anything else i deem pertinent. by next inning game management appears and we talk about the ejection, they says sorry (dunno why  ) and then thanks for handling it.  |
Maybe that is the difference. Around here, the site admin are hovering around the back of the crowd and the people charged with collecting game fees are doing their job. Often, the admin will hear something before those of us on the field do. Sometimes, we have to engage them to do their job. And once in my career, it resulted in a report being sent to state and the admin who was also an AD of the school receiving an official reprimand, because he actually left the site when asked to remove some rowdy/cussing fans. Luckily, another coach was there and he stepped in and performed the job the AD should have. (Oddly enough, he is now that school's AD.)
