Do you officiate other sports?

How many situations have you had to diffuse in a game?

Now the update, I umpired a 9 inning game with the same team yesterday in the HOT weather. Game went great, no problems, and the kids were actually nice and kept their heads in the HEAT. In the first inning I could hear the kids talking in the dugout about it being the same umpire that ejected our teammate the other day, I kind of laughed and thought to myself "THERE IS PROBABLY SOME GUY OUT THERE THAT THOUGHT I WAS WRONG FOR EJECTING THAT KID LAST WEEK(MR. steveshane67), but that was my MAIN REASON FOR DOING IT.

You only earn respect from anyone when you show what you WONT TAKE!!!

As referees or umpires in any sport, there comes a time in the game when things can turn in a instant, you can either become a UMPIRE(OFFICAL) or become...... steveshane67!!!!

To answer your questions I dont officiate other sports, and havent had to diffuse many in game situations. BUT Ive had to diffuse many many much more serious situations before, ALL with no problems. In real life I dont need to beat people with my fists, I just relate to people and use sound logic.

Now I have a couple questions for you

1) Did you eject the batter after he said "I can take as much time as I want"?
2) would it be reasonable to assume that the last thing a player/coach says/does before they are ejected is the cause of their ejection?
3) do most players know all of the rules?
4) is misquoting a rule an ejectionable offense?
5) where is the ejectionable offense here?
