He lost his mind. And then the umps lost there’s with a 40 min review. It was simple. You toss the Catcher and whoever from GA (think it was an Assistant Coach) who came flying out of dugout with malicious intent! Should have taken about 3 minutes along with warnings to both dugouts.

I’m not pining for the umpires in this case, but my viewpoint is the over authoritative stance umpires have taken this year goes back to one thing: the umpires have been directed by conference leaders to not only curb, but not allow anything beyond the fist-bumping, high-fiving, etc. I feel quite sure the umpires were specifically trained on these issues and are constantly reminded by league officials that there is basically a zero tolerance policy. I think liability, amongst a handful of other things plays a significant role. Hence, umpires are doing what they’re doing.

I don’t think there’s any doubt amongst us that we all believe umpiring itself is just not very good these days. There might be a few that are very good, but not many.

Let me say that it was not the umpires on the field but the SEC review guys who ejected the players so it can't go on the umpires but the SEC offices for the delay and the trainwreck of decisions.

I’m fairly certain there is an umpire on the review staff though. So either way an umpire was involved.

Just speaking psychologically, while guys this age haven't fully developed their prefrontal cortex (which regulates impulse), keeping angry guys penned up in their dugout only increases their anger, whereas letting them leave the dugout to strut, yell, and curse would vent the worst of their emotion, and allow the game to go on more normally.

But leaving the dugout does put a premium on coaches and umps to respond to anything that escalates the potential for injurious action (i.e., rhubarberation).

If the official rules, including what gets you tossed, are clearly provided, receipt required, then we should abide by them. I'm a huge proponent of a group getting together and representing a lot of NCAA/SEC teams to review and police officiating sharing the good and bad officials with the public and media. We have waaaay tooo much excellent technology to not use it in evaluating the performance of officiating and sending that to a judge and jury or the collective heads of universities. Kinda like a monday morning after the fact officiating score card. If it winds up officials are doing a great job...we should all be happy about that. If there are officials who are not making consistent "by the book" calls....give them a pink slip or send them to remedial officiating 101.
