Babe Ruth coach KOs umpire

From the article: "Vallejo's team was eliminated from the tournament for the assault."

Why punish a bunch of kids because one of their coaches is an idiot? Sure, this guy should be ejected, arrested, fined, jailed, barred from coaching, whatever. But by what rule would you declare a forfeit?

Its common sense. Just like you can forfeit a game if you eject a coach and he refuses to leave.

I thinking a tournament rule calls for the penalty.

It puts the onus on each organization to make sure that they have the right people coaching.

A swing and a miss for Vallejo.
