I have yet to meet an umpire with upper levek experience who could or would boast of never ejecting a skipper or an assistant.

Most likely KF is a youth ball umpire with a good library.
You have already proven yourself here and freely demonstrated the limited scope of your thinking. If you can't see it or imagine it, it comes as no surprise.

I have skills and a background in baseball and in life that naturally come into use when it is time to deal with an angry or frustrated coach, who often takes on the character of a child. I rise above the childishness quickly, change the tone quickly and arrest the situation quickly before it gets bad. If you lack the skills or imagination or strength or maturity or patience or life experience to accomplish that from situation to situation, then be what you are and continue to operate the way you do. Booting coaches probably gets you off somehow. Rising above the nonsense rather than adding to it is what satisfies me.
