Do you toss this coach?

[ChapJim]

I want to complain about the overwhelming display of uncharacteristic civility in this string. You had a chance to turn this thread into something ugly and you blew it! We're not used to seeing people acknowledge the point of view of others.

Keep this up and McGriff's has nothing to worry about.

I'm pretty much with the JM on this one.

Eject the manager. Nip it in the bud. Don't let it get to the point it did.

But things happen, so....

Call the assistant coach over. Tell him... "I know exactly what is going on, and if it happens again, you'll be ejected as well. If the manager tries anything more, the game is being halted and the TD is going to remove him from the premises."

If it happens, bye bye to assistant coach (if he was an acting agent, I'm not tossing the coach if the manager is just yelling from the parking lot or whatever). But if players are running out there, ha.

Then we have two coaches in the parking lot and we play again. Not forfeiting until THEY are the only people doing harm. And even then, I'm more inclined to just hand it to the TD. Forfiets should be aboided at all cost because a) I look bad because I couldn't control the game (even if I did everything right) and b) Especially in youth baseball, I'm not going to have a pissing contest between a coach to see who can top who.

JM-

Normally in amateur games, when someone is ejected, the ejected offender has to get out of "sight and sound." That's the policy our association enforces here locally and nobody has a problem with it. So an umpire can certainly forfeit the game if a coach is tring to circumvent his ejection by relaying messages to coaches.
