Do you toss this coach?

[SanDiegoSteve]

You may have wanted to nip the earlier chirping in the bud as soon as the ex-jock coach started in. That would have prevented the not shutting up the whole game thing.

After you dumped the coach, he should not be allowed in the stands, unless he has changed into street clothes, as the rule specifies. Even in street clothes, he cannot be in the vicinity, close enough for his players and the assistant coach (new manager) to relay signals and instructions. There is no "tunnel" for him to hide out in like in the pros, so when he obviously violates the "take no further part in that game" part of the rule, you warn the new manager not to allow any further communication with the ejected coach. Then, if anyone violates this order, they get ejected. Get rid of the adult coaches, or down to 8 players, and voila, game over.

Don't lose any sleep over running these clowns!

BTW, I have a tournament game next weekend featuring "Blackjack" Jack McDowell and Kurt McKaskill as opposing coaches of 12U all-stars!
