First ejection

[Joshua]

I got my first ever ejection in a u-11 softball game. After a strike 3 call the first base coach comes yelling that's two in a row in the same spot and two different results, and then says you need to get your eyes checked ( I know I should have ejected him there) but only told him to go to the dogout which he does but when he got there he yelled for everyone to hear you strike zone has been horrible all night at which point I ejected him.

Hmmm...you're right, you should have ejected him after his on-field tirade. The comment for which you ejected him was tamer and off the field, which makes it a little wishy-washy.

I would add that you should have said "that's enough" when telling him to go to the dugout.  It is petty, but you just told him to go the dugout and he obeyed your request.  Then you ejected him for a less offensive comment.  If you said "that's enough" or some other thing letting him know he had to shut up as well as go to the dugout, it would have solidified the ejection more.
