Peter, with all do respect, I wouldn't ever want to work with a partner who lets players continually draw lines on him.
The message you are sending isn't to the offending player. HE'S DONE. The message is to the managers and remaining players on both teams that you aren't someone to be messed with.
Trust me. If you dump a 14 year old for drawing a line, (after he's done crying) HE WILL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN. You've just done a favor to every umpire this little brat has for the next 4 years. No one learns what is unacceptable until YOU tell them.
By the way, I'm 37, look 27 but have 16 years in my association. Yeah I've had my fair share of dumps. How many this year? 3 in 122 games. Why? People don't f*ck with me anymore!
