Arguing balls and strikes after being told we were done talking balls and strikes.:big_no

[Umpire in Chief]

Good call.

Nicely done!

They say ejecting coaches is like riding a bike; It can be a little difficult at first, but a whole lot of fun once you get use to it....

Congratulations: now, for future reference:

1. How do you feel right now about having tossed him?

2. How do you think you'd feel if you let him continue to argue for the entire game?

See, tossing someone doesn't hurt: keeping someone who needed to be tossed hurts..

1. How do you feel right now about having tossed him?

Well, I'm kind of feeling bad about it. I guess the guy had a legit gripe. But, he completly went over the top, so he had to go.

2. How do you think you'd feel if you let him continue to argue for the entire game?

Horrible. My feeling is that if I have to keep my composer, the coaches should have very little leeway to get emotional. This guy totally lost it. It was an easy call. I will not be walked on, no matter how bad I am.

Whether or not he had a "legitimate gripe" doesn't mean squat: you didn't toss him because he didn't like your zone: you tossed him because he was a tool. Keep that in mind.

I blew a League Rule the first week of this season. The coach argued, told me I "needed to learn to read", and was tossed. He complained to the League that, because he was right on the ruling, he shouldn't be suspended. The League told him exactly what I said above: it was his behavior that decided his fate...
