Re: Tough decision

I'm sure that was a tough decision to resign but you have to stand for what you think is correct.
The umpire in question had plenty of time to let the board know that he would be out that day and he didn't.
That IMO disqualifies his excuse. If he thought enough about wanting to umpire in the playoffs, he should have thought about it before the event had happened.
Also, he had two dates of which to attend. What was his reason for missing on April 3?
I don't know the man, I'm sure you do, but it seems like he was trying to pull something on the board, and I'm sure that had something to do with your decision.
I think you made the "right call" in your decision about the man being able to umpire in the playoffs.
Thanks
