Let's start with the unanimous decision that the initial comments warranted immediate ejection, but then proceed as if, for some ridiculous reason, we didn't eject her...

OK - so we warned her.

She then asked why she couldn't tell her team to pick up the pitcher, and I responded that she could, as long as the derrogatory comments about the umpires were not included. She then told me that she wouldn't say it if it wasn't so
Ejected.

and accused (deleted umpire's name) of favoritism stating, "This isn't the first time. You weren't here to see what he did to us last time".
Ejected. (What was our warning for again????!!!!??)

I advised her that I was there the last time (deleted umpire's name) was at (deleted team name), and that she needed to just coach her team and leave the comments off. She then walked off and as she did called me a liar.
Ejection. Good grief - what does it take to get ejected around here?!?!

Quote:
I ignored the comment as she was saying it as she exited the field and to respond would only exacerbate the situation. She eventually lost the game, 14-2 in five innings. No further incidents occurred.

Needless to say, feedback was provided....
Hopefully very sternly and in no uncertain terms.
