Not sure if it is happening everywhere but, at the high school games this season the umpires have been pushing back at the talk from the dugouts. I have seen a number of warnings given out to other teams. Umpires have been instructing teams that they can only cheer on their own players and nothing derogatory should be said to the other team.

Annually there are points of emphasis published by NFHS and State associations. Dugout actions are appearing on the list more frequently. If you have any desire to be assigned to post season play, those enforcement actions go a long way in the eyes of state assignors.
