NFHS Test Question

[RKBUmp]

4-1-6 states the umpires (plural) are the sole judges (plural) but 10-2-3 puts this responsibility as the plate umpires responsibility to call the game because of condition.

I will give the fact the Plate has some very specific responsibilities and authority, that the field Ump does not....

Is one of those Specific, Only the Plate can Restrict &/or Eject a coach?

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

A Base/Field Umpire can most certainly restrict or eject a player or coach. Read NFHS R10-S3-A1.

10-3-a1 gives authority to disqualify a player. Eject a coach is listed only under plate umpire.

In fact the word coach in not mentioned in Rule 10 Section 3

Situation: I am the BU/FU. R1 attempts to steal 2B. I call R1 out at 2B. 1B Coach charges at me from the 1B Coach's Box screaming obscenities. You can bet your sweet bippy that I am ejecting him. I do not need the PU to do it for me.

Rule 10-Section 1-Article 5: "The umpire's right to disqualify players or to remove nonplayers for objecting to decisions or for unsporting conduct is absolute."
