Sometimes you just need to conform to keep the bigs dogs form barking too much.

Here's an excerpt from a memo from my association commissioner regarding ejections:

Please do not eject a High School coach unless you have warned him and
restricted him to his dugout first.

Do not eject High School players if a strong warning or chewing their butts for
their bad behavior can suffice.

Obviously fighting, bumping, obvious extreme verbal abuse, and malicious contact
by a player must be followed by an ejection.

Ejections cause a lot of administrative action by you, the coach, the AD, the
Principal of the school, and the state administration. Most ejections cause the
school and team to be fined $300 for the incident.

I will back you and support any ejection that follow these guidelines. We want
you to simply apply less force if it will work as a first response by the
umpire. Obviously in extreme cases or even prolonged cases of willful
disobedience you will have no other choice than eject.

If you eject a coach you must call me right away. If you eject anyone you must
submit a written email of the incident by Noon the next day.
