Line in the sand

If an adult player drew an inside line on me after calling a strike, I would ask for his bat and draw another line on the outside part of the plate (usually about 6 inches outside). Then I would hand the bat back, and tell him, "that's the zone now, so you'd better swing!"

That's tiresome. Why stoop to his level? Just eject him and maintain dignity and composure.

How could you possibly defend such an action with a supervisor or assignor?
