so one of the leagues i work for is trying to change up their EJ report procedure and it got me thinking to a switch i had a few yrs ago.

 

 

12u game a lot of close but correct calls go against one team and after the 5th or 6th one i hear a loud yell from the dugout "your a frigin cheat blue"....i didn't know who said it but i was almost positive it was from the dugout so i turned gave the EJ mechanic and said your gone....when they asked who i responded "whoever said it".....after i said this a fan sitting in the bleachers behind the dugout turned got up started walking out and said as he was leaving "I'm sorry i couldn't hold it in any longer" and he left w/o another word.....obviously i thought it was a team member who said it and if i knew it was a fan i woulda ignored it.....anything i could have done different?

If you don't know who to eject, then why give an ejection mechanic? Unless you were going to ask the coach to pick somebody to go? I would of probably warned the head coach that the next comment that comes from the bench would result in his early dismissal from the game.

Take out the lineup card and tell the coach you need to discuss something about the lineup. Most won't know what you are talking about, but a lot of them will appreciate that you handled this in a less dramatic fashion by talking to them. You are not making yourself the game and are now putting the onus on the coach to clean up the situation.

I like this idea stu
