National Anthem Standoff

[johnnyg08]

In my email this morning:

National Anthem Standoff:

Any umpire shall eject any player, coach, manager or trainer for violations of the Coaches & Players Code of Ethics, p. 10. Conferences may choose to implement additional penalties (see Appendix D) The UIC is to warn the head coach of the offending team that should any player not return to his dugout area immediately after the playing of the National Anthem, the head coach and player(s) will be ejected immediately.

Here is a video clip that demonstrates what is happening. Head Coaches: this is a violation of NCAAplaying rules and the umpires are to strictly enforce this rule.

We were warned this may appear in high school games, and to tell the manager to get them in the dugout if they want the game to happen.

That was weird.

What's up with the double video!

[johnnyg08]

Showing as one video on mine.

This instruction makes it sound as if you're threatening a forfeit. That's not how I would handle it, at least not directly.

 

I would instruct the coaches to move their players into the dugout per 3-3-1j, and subsequently eject the coach if he fails to comply.

 

Then we do the same with the next coach, if it comes to that, which I doubt. In Ohio, ejected coaches have to pay a fine, visit the poobahs in Columbus, and take an online ethics course (at their own expense).

 

Eventually, we might run out of coaches and forfeit per 4-4-1e.

Seems like a good deal for the home team.  They have 9 in the field, neither team goes to the dugout, all the others are ejected -- forfeit against the visitors. 

 

Plus a quick payday for the umpires. ;0

And not one of them knows the proper way to hold your hat during the playing of the national anthem.

Ha! You and I and 3 other people in the world know this...

What the heck is this all about?? I've never heard of or seen such a thing.

 

[johnnyg08]

No idea, but the NCAA national coordinators are all over it.

I guess it started with these two. I don't get it at all.

That was funny

[BigUmpire]

Walk to home plate shout: "First 2 players in line are ejected" wait 3 seconds then shout: " Next 2 players in line are ejected" wait 3 seonds- REPEAT.

 

If coach does not throw his remaining players in the dugout, eject him.

 

100 Monkey theory in full effect.

[krwill96]

It actually started last year in the NCAA. I guess it was bigger in the East. In the PGCBL (a summer college league) it was pretty common. It never got to anyone being ejected. It was usually one pitcher from each side would stand near the bullpen and salute the flag. I do not work NCAA but the guys I worked with in the summer league said NCAA came up with an interpretation midyear to eject the coach and the player who was part of the standoff if they did not stand down after being told to. I do not know the reasoning behind competing in the standoff. It will be interesting to see if it makes its way into high school ball.

[johnnyg08]

Yeah, the Fed will not take kindly to this.

[Dash Riprock]

Yeah, the Fed will not take kindly to this.

And you KNOW the HS kids will copy it.

[johnnyg08]

I typed National Anthem standoff into You Tube and two schools from a conference our association covers was the 2nd video on the list. So it's moving it's way west.

Four.

[SJA]

Five . . .

[catcher]

I dont make 6. What is the proper technique?

[Majordave]

First, a kid I used to coach played at Coastal and is in that video. No idea what they are thinking.

Second, I'm number 6 I guess on knowing how to stand and hold hat.

Third, to answer the question on proper way to render courtesy for non-military; you stand facing the flag with left hand hanging straight at your side, right hand holds the bill of the cap and crosses chest with the part where your head goes over the heart, no talking, laughing, chewing gum or tobacco nor spitting or looking around while music is playing. Eyes on the flag, body erect in a stance symbolizing respect no slouching etc.

Does that answer the question?

I kicked two of my legion players off the team in the state tourney the last season I coached for goofing and talking during the anthem. ( They'd been warned earlier.)

Yes, I take it serious.

IF this standoff crap occurs in one of my games I WILL get some ejections. I will warn at plate meetings from now on to try and nip it before it occurs.

Major Dave is a REAL American!

 

If this were to happen in any of my games I will send you the newspaper clipping on it.

@umpstu. I see. @krwill96 was kind enough to explain where and when it started. Oh, BTW the MLB incident was the NLCS, not the World Series.
