thank you

so what did the institution do.

nothing says they cannot have the intestinal fortitude to say that was way over the line and we are suspending you in addition to what the NCAA gives you.

Remember growing up and if you got punished at school you got double that at home. At least i am told that was the way it was.

guess the institution feels this display merits no punishment from the institution itself, so as far as the institution, by doing nothing (maybe they did something we do not know about) condones this type of behavior. also heard stories from back in the day about no physical touching officials. verbal abuse, or a thrown hat on the ground was one thing. physical touching was a whole other ballgame in itself.

umpire later worked Auburn regional and Stanford super-regional

2:00 mark - sounds like they thought Alabama was relaying pitches and that led to their guy getting hurt.  No idea why he got so upset with the umpire - guess he was 'standing up' for his assistant that had been tossed?  Looks like the AC came onto the field barking at the Alabama dugout - the crew gave him plenty of leash to get out of there but he hung himself.

Small fish talking here, but the NCAA protocol after an ejection is to immediately go the opposite direction of the offender.  This umpire started, but then stuck around and engaged the head coach, who was probably looking for an explanation, which should not have been needed (it was quite obvious).  Still, after ejecting the head coach, he turns back towards the coach, which allowed him to be much more accessible to the ensuing contact (automatic 4-game suspension).  The NCAA wants umpires to keep heading away from the ejection and pass responsibility of getting the ejected personnel off the field to the next nearest umpire or crew chief.  If they do not leave, they are subject to an additional one-game suspension.   In this case, I think a different umpire could have dealt with the head coach after the assistant was ejected and played rodeo clown as needed.

That’s called guilty of “assured clear distance” while driving in my state

FIFY.

I believe Jeff Macias is the crew chief so he pretty much knows what he's doing out there.  And he has worked a CWS recently.  Plus the guy can flat out umpire.

No doubt, the man can umpire - better than I ever will.  Just saying, this is not how the NCAA wants ejections handled.  Walk the other way.  Heard it form George Drouches, Randy Bruns, and Billy Haze.  A "pro" approach was used.  Not for a second am I on the coaches' sides.  Ejections were beyond warranted for both.  Same thing may very well have happened, just with a different crew member.
