"You're outta here"...crowd - Jun 15, 2009 | 9:56:40

An umpire at a high school game in West Burlington, Iowa ejected a crowd of more than 100 after several members yelled comments following a controversial call. The umpire eventually allowed the crowd to return, but only after asking police to observe. The superintendent for the school said he believes the umpire overreacted. There's no question that umpires at all levels occasionally deal with abusive crowds, but did this high school ump make the right call?

As an educator, umpire/official, ex college/professional athlete, and past coach I believe it is our top job to guarentee our athletes recognize it is education first and athletic success second.
