Agree, it shouldn't be that hard. Neither should giving a reasonable answer to a reasonable question. However, is explaining this situation to the coaches ever easy??? Seems like first thing the coach says is "Had a play last night where there was a crash and my was called out, ejected, obstructed..." whatever. I usually give it the "Well, I'd have to see the play and may have to be able to read intent as well as several other items." They only want to hear what they think is correct and they never know or want to agree.
Again, thanks for not hesitating about helping out a fellow umpire.
