that is a first..

Tonight's game. Pony sectionals bracket play. 

2 outs runners on 3rd. Pass ball, catcher retrieves and tosses to pitcher covering. Runner slides. I see the tag and I walk around to verify he still has the ball, bang the kid out. HC comes out to argue and voice his opinion, I have no problem with it wasn't really animated. His assistant coach on the other hand came down and started yapping. I informed the head coach to restrain his coach and send him back to the dugout and away from me. AC mouths off, I turn around and toss him. He walks towards the dugout, then throws his hat at my feet, walks over picks up his hat, then proceeded to kick dirt all over me. He leaves. HC finishes his comments, I restrict him to the dugout and we finish the game.

 

I can understand coaches disagreeing with umpires calls, but the hat throwing and kicking dirt is a little bit pushing it for 14 yr olds.. it's pushin for hs imo

Next time eject the ass coach as soon as he starts heading your way. 

Assistants get no mercy!

[ElkOil]

Eh, hat throwing and dirt kicking is an homage to Billy Martin and Lou Pinella.  Classic!  Part of the this great game of baseball.

​He's a douche.  That is so phony and he should be released as a coach.  It's a baseball game.

​He's a douche.  

​That likely would be giving "douche" an undeserved rap.

When ever they throw there hat on the ground near you , always accidentally step on it

​Not a good idea, just walk away

[Old Skool]

never stay in the dirt & give him a chance to kick it on you.  Simply move to the grass.

​I wasn't expecting the coach to do that but, I know for future reference to move to the grass.

Doesn't Pony follow OBR?  There is no restriction to the dugout in OBR.

​I don't believe there is a restriction in OBR, but I felt the necessary thing to do was to just restrict the coach, tossing him would result in the team playing without a coach period, (AC was tossed previously) and he didn't do anything to me or say anything that I felt would require such.

I suppose 9.01C could be used here, is there any rule saying you can't restrict?

To paraphrase MST, "if there is enough to restrict, there is enough to eject."

It's not your job to keep the coach in the game so the kids can play.
