Under the example given by Pete
I would have to say, dump him unless the coach gets him before you do. I had that once. After a called strike on the outside corner, a child prodigy, 18YO summer travel ball tourney, D-1 early signee, son of an ex-Cincinnati Reds pitcher actually stepped out in front of the plate and turned to me and did a long look while bending over like he was inspecting the outside edge of the plate. I backed up, took my mask off and was about to step toward his dugout to dump him when the coach ran out of the dugout saying "I've got this blue" and take him off the field while giving him an earful.
I told the coach I was still ejecting him and he said that's fine.
In this example and my own story, I vote dump.
My FYC is for the coaches running up the score as in my reply to the original post above in this thread.
This morals and ethics discussion is going nowhere with some of these guys and quite frankly getting a little boring. We aren't going to change each other's minds, I don't think. At least we aren't getting into the sewer like some threads do.
