Jim Riggleman learned that if Joe says "if you go your done" that's exactly what he means. A young umpire can learn that if you give a coach a warning and the coach does not heed that warning, then you eject him, which is not what some young umpires on this board have done. They have kept warning and warning and still not ejected. Sometimes, and in some areas, they learn that ejections, even after a warning gets their schedule pulled or reduced. And many times they learn that from the experienced and veteran umps in that area that do not eject either. And what do they learn from these umpires?
