Explaining your call to fans
DG -
I'm curious why you would offer any type of explanation to the fans.
I don't think that is good advice to any umpire at any level. Don't converse with spectators. If you do, you are either looking for a pat on the back or a kick in the pants.
Make your ruling and if the coach needs and explanation, provide it and resume play. You can bet that the coach isn't going to stop his duties to explain the play to the fan, why would you?
