And if, hypothetically, a manager decided to attempt to do his job with 0 ejections ever, he would never see the end of his second or third season.  No matter how good he was at everything else.
You get too soft, you will be taken advantage of, both inside the clubhouse and out of it.  That's a fact.

James pointed out that very few managers, other than Cox, last a long time with one team because the soft guys lose control, and the hard guys tick everybody off after a while.
About the middle of the second season is the farthest a guy would get if he were butter-soft.

Wok has done great with the clubhouse, but just hypothetically now, you could and would lose your job if you let the umps push you around at will.
