One of your writers, wobster, appears to have overlooked that rather significant caveat in a recent article, when he said:
"I heard it said (and I believe it) that nine out of ten times, when a coach gets ejected, it is the umpire's fault."
... and failed to include the "summer ball" exception. I think he later allowed that he "heard it said" by you, at one of your clinics. Unfortunately, his misunderstanding of the complete lesson caused him some grief on the boards, and cost him some credibility with some of his readers.
