Would you have tossed him?
 

I would have responded: Coach, arguing balls and strikes is a violation of the rules. If you continue to violate the rules,I will take further action.

If the coach continues with the ball/strike issue I would eject the coach.

:DStrange, we usually consider the "Nort' Joisy" teams to be the outrageous ones. :D

I agree.. Me 20 years Fed.. zero ejections.

Boy, Oatmealqueen---you sure are laid back!

LOL

<b>Strange, we usually consider the "Nort' Joisy" teams to be the outrageous ones.</b>

I believe you, but we're actually in Central Jersey, where the accent is more like that in Philadelphia. ("Why" sounds like "woy"; "over there" sounds like "ehwver dair"—there are no diacritical marks to indicate the sound of our long "o"). Sehw woy did dem goys gehw ehwver dair? We're a world apart from Nort' Joisy. To people in Trenton, Newark might as well be on Jupiter.

It looks as if I spoke too soon about outrageous behavior. Last night, on the next field, a veteran umpire ejected a long-time coach for some kind of snide remark. Then the coach refused to leave the field and laid a string of obscenities on the ump. This was 12-and-under girls.

I've done that league for many years and had that coach many times with no problems. The league in fact is very strict about the behavior of players, coaches, and fans. Before last night, I never saw anyone come close to being ejected. It will be interesting to see what they do to the above-mentioned coach.

I assume you meant "Newk":D

How long do you want to stay here?

Okay - you can't have a conversation about New Joisy without the required question :D

No, that would be "Ne-erk", as opposed to New-ark, DE.

zero ejections
 

17 years for me, NFHS and ASA FP, two coaches, no players, but as I said there would have been one the other day. That's not counting the AA of course.

Year 35 for me, though the first 18 or so only had about 10 games a year as I was still playing. I've probably tossed 50 or so.
