So I guess I tend to disagree that the lower levels are the worst behaved. At least that has been my past and most recent experiences.

Game management. You are an ***, bye bye. Others stop being asses.

Just came back from ISSA Worlds. Championship game of over 40 majors. Team says one or two things I can hear sitting by dugout about height. Then one barks about it. Ump says time. Fellows there will be no arguing about balls and strikes. Situation resolved. Nothing out of the players. He did the same thing, I am told and he told me, at the firecracker when a coach barked about the first pitch of a game.

When the players or coaches are out of line, exhibiting inpappropriate behaviour, you gotta step up.
