I know some umpires who have ejected players for things like this, and for some reason you don't see them umpiring much if any. Why? The schools refuse to have them umpire for them. Without the schools allowing them to umpire, there are no games for them to umpire.
Maybe they are not getting games because they did and you did not.

And I agree with Tom, avoiding hassle is our job.
