There are two ways to approach this: reassign you for a week or two to let them cool off (but making sure to put you back on their games afterward), or put you behind the plate for this team's games for the next month. Personally, I think both methods have their merits, but it depends on the assignor and the "personality" of the league. You don't want to feed your umpire to the wolves if the league is known for aggressive confrontations, but you need to send a message to the teams that the umpire involved is impartial, professional, and to be respected.
Out of curiosity, how many did you eject that night?

Thank you all for the reponses.
Four. All at around the same time. After 1st ejection, the rest of the team had trouble getting back into their dugout and resuming after "Play Ball". ![]() |

If you eject 4 off a team, it probably is better from a mgmt point of view to let it cool off.
I agree it leaves a bad taste in your mouth because it feels a little like they "got you" off their games. As long as its not permenant thats probably fine.

We have a field terrorist of a coach in CA that goes team to team causing trouble (hes presently in our area - hes been talked about a bit on hey bucket) and for awhile they were trying to keep umpires that had problems with him off of his games.. but when we ran out of said umpires, they had to start putting ones on him that could handle him and those usually had multiple run ins with him.
Now we are picking on him ![]() He once told me he was contacting the ASA head office and I would never work again (I was kinda hoping that would take effect this weekend since it will be 104, the fair is in town, and all.. but no luck.). ![]() He can literally disrupt an entire tourney if allowed too.

In another tournament he charged my partner and did the old chest bump. Gone again. My partner also filed assault charges on him. The irony here? The guy is a cop. __________________

I think he must've moved to NC, because we have one of those in the area as well. It's gotten to a point where his actions on the field could potentially cost him his badge.

In hindsite, do you regret tossing all 3 after the 1st one? Not that they didnt deserve it equally, but was there another way to settle things down, gain control, and still play the game?-- maybe tossing 1 more? We've all been in sich's where we could toss multiples, and tossing 1 settles the others. Other times, you just gotta do what you gotta do. What did the 1st player say to get ejected? |

1 - I wasn't there. 2 - Who am I to second guess him? Things just happen, and you deal with them the best you can. If he wants advice, he'll ask for it. ![]()
