Sometimes I wonder why I umpire

Didn't mean to aggravate your blood pressure, bkbjones.

I'd say the prevailing opinion here is to eject regardless of the importance of the game or the consequences of having just nine players. Thanks for the feedback.

I believe the importance of the game and the consequences of having just 9 players should lead you to that conversation with the coach, first. Then, treat the same as any other game, and eject if warranted.

Umpire: Coach, if this keeps up, you are going to need a substitute.
Coach: Blue, I don't have anybody to sub.

Hopefully, at this point you hope the lightbulb will go on over the coach's head. If not.........
