Should I have warned?

[Aging_Arbiter]

If an F1, F4, Fx calmly asks me what just happened, i'm going to explain it.   "Give a man a fish......"   right?  

 

I have to ask, mjr, did F9 yell loud enough for the crowd to hear it?   You were in C, so I would presume so, but i'd like to hear.   I'm 50/50 on this just like you. 

 

 

I respectfully disagree with those who say F1 should not have been spoken to.  In my pre-game conference, I always say to the head coaches: "If your players or assistant coaches have a question, or need a clarification, I have no problem with that.  Anything beyond that, we're only speaking to you two" (the two head coaches).  They get it.  I'm sure some will disagree with that approach, but it works for me.

 

I agree with buckeye & mick here.  Give a man a fish....... Especially if F1 was 1 of the team captains at the plate meeting where mick mentioned players.  As long as it's done respectfully, and doesn't delay the game, I'll talk with 'em.
