I apologize if I snipped overly, but i wanted to highlight this sentence.
I am a baseball umpire this time of the season, now that my hoops schedule is over. Last night we had our state rules meeting and then went to a local pub where we had beers and told war stories. All of us at the table are high school and college umpires. The most fun we had was talking about some of the outrageous situations and ejections we've had in the past.
Sometimes this type of talk is just talk. We aren't bragging about ejecting people, but sometimes it happens. It's fun to talk about after the fact sometimes because occasionally you learn something from it and it's fun telling other umpires how outrageous situations and coaches can be.
If I was making the statement how I hadn't ejected anyone all season, it wouldn't be bragging -- it would be pure shock.
