"Show me the rule"

[badbamaump]

Here's what I woulda done..

"Coach, section 9 allows me to any rule not covered by the rules.... I'm ruling that you need to leave."

I recommend that you come up with a few one liners...

"Coach, section 6 says...

Coach, according to the latest interpretation from Jim Evans"

You get the idea.... Believe it or not it works. Kinda like when you played ball, you would mentally prepare yourself for a certain play/situation, do the same for your umpiring... It works for me.
