Defensive huddles after warm-up pitches and half-innings

[NCASAUmp]

Girls... Boys... Kids... Adults... I usually call it all the exact same, and I treat them almost exactly the same (I use different tactics on the kids when their attitudes need adjusting). When you show them from the beginning what you expect of them, they generally rise to the occasion, and they grow to become fine ball players in the future.

So basically, if I were calling an adults game and saw this kind of behavior, I would put a stop to it if it were causing a delay in the game. If women don't want to be treated differently in the real world (and I agree they shouldn't), why should we grant exceptions just because they're young?

Treat 'em firmly, treat 'em fairly, and treat 'em equally.
