I have not seen any video. But what is the protocall in this case. Who assigns, who fires, who suspends?

The first post gives who suspends.

I would assume this article below answers who assigns/hires and who fires, as those decisions are not handled by each individual umpire on the staff.

you can click on the link and when the page comes up look to the Feb 25 game and click on that. Start the game and drag the time bar to the bottom of the 7th at the 2:20-2:25 mark of the game with 1 hour left to go.  See the home run/double as to weather it hit off the top of the wall and bounced back in or hit the pine tree behind and bounced back and the argument that ensued. Also watch the 9th for another double/home run and then the last play of the game and the way the crew gets their ear bent leaving the field. All calls above were judgment calls. Replay of the game may not be up much  longer.
