@Ro_Co_Vols They know the rules and he violated it by being a showboat and performing his antics towards the LU bench. Thatโs a taunting ejection by NCAA rules.
@PowerMizzoucom@newdaywithssj Right call. He knows the taunting rule and not have his actions displayed to the LU bench. Run the bases and celebrate after crossing home.
In NCAA baseball, taunting is classified as unsportsmanlike conduct. Any player or coach who uses profanity, mocking gestures, or intimidating language directed at opponents or umpires will face an immediate ejectionfrom the game. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Core Regulations
The NCAA enforces a strict code of ethics and sportsmanship regarding player behavior. Under these rules, players are barred
@ReportBulldawg Because he was taunting. Thatโs an unsportsmanlike ejection. The umpire canโt judge intent. He was making gestures to the LU bench. If you donโt want to be ejected, then be classy and run the bases. Celebrate with your teammates after touching home!

@TrillWilsosa Stop whining! It appeared
To be a taunting unsportsmanlike act. That is an ejection. He should have shown class, run the bases and celebrate after he crossed the plate. Not in LUโs face!
@NWGAStormDawgwx@NCAABaseball The umpire canโt guess intent. If heโs gesturing to the dugout side regardless if his family was there or not. He should act in a sportsmanlike manner and run the bases with class! Itโs not the MLB.
