Since when do umpires need the blessing of the media to do their jobs?

I thought MLB cleared that up by saying there was no need for Cuzzi to appear at the press conference because the ejection was routine (ie. did not involve a rule interpretation or a contraversial play/call).
The beauty about pro ball is that if a player mother f*ck's you, you can mother f*ck them right back or get rid of them (some umpires do both). Unfortuneately, in NCAA ball, that's not the case. A Head Coach can "undress" you but you can't say anything back - you have to toss him and walk away. That's horsesh!t. Just my opinion
