Would you have dumped him?

Tim,

Jicecone pretty much summed it up with his list. There are many ways to send a message or and those things have worked for me for years. I also do not care what you think we do in other sports; I am just making an observation as to why umpires seem so eager to eject the slightest objection to your "authoritaaaaaa!!!" And is the reason that from the pro level all the way down umpires are motives are almost always questioned when there is a reasonable ejection. Instead of letting the actions be clear to everyone, you allow minor disagreements cause a player to be ejected when we can give other adults to handle the situation. I can tell you the ejections I have had in the last several years; they went without much of a disagreement as to why they were done by anyone watching.

Peace
