Taking off the helmet

[falsecut]

I suppose that you could warn for throwing equipment or something. But 3.3.1l says the penalty for deliberately throwing a helmet, bat and so on, is ejection. I don't see a lot of grey area there. It appears the umpires have rule support although I wouldn't have gone to that extent had it been me.

@falsecut. So if you believed you had a rule specific for the scenario, and you choose , as you stated, not to go "that far" and not call that in your game... what would you tell the opposing coach that ran out of the dugout yelling "thats an out! immediate ejection!" ?

Where is the rule support for an out?

Ejections only happen after the play is complete.

There is no rule that would stop the runs from scoring.

Wrong rule; it's not applicable here. You want 1-1-5 in this situation
