Do all of the experienced umps out there feel somewhat down after such an occurance?

I gave up a long time ago trying to understand why some players and coaches are even allowed around other human beings let alone why they do the things they do. Don't feel down feel proud trhat you are doing your job and thank you. As an experienced umpire I appreciate when you do your job according to the rules, no matter what the circumstances because, when I do that team next time they are going to get the same type of officiating. By the rules and fair. Maybe sooner or latter they will get it, maybe not but if they get tossed enough times, sooner or latter someone will pay attention.

Good Call

Ohio is encouraging them to get it by fining coaches $100 for every ejection.

Really no reason to preface this with the size, age or sex of the players. Good dump on the MC. There are idiots everywhere; get used to it.
