Trash Talking From Dugout
Earlier this week, I was working (solo) an ASA co-ed slow pitch game when multiple players from one dugout shouted insulting comments toward a player in the field after an unusual play. The dugout was crowded with about eight or nine players, and I was not sure who was shouting and who wasn't.
I immediately went to the dugout and told them that the comments had to stop, and fortunately that was the end of it. Had it continued, I would have summoned the captain and asked him to address his team. My question, though, is how best to handle a situation like that if the trash-talking had continued (or if the original comment was so bad that it warranted an ejection) and I could not determine which player, or players, actually made the comment. I appreciate any suggestions you might have.
