The thread on Reinstating the force got me to thinking (could be dangerous)

As we all know or should know when the game ends it's OVER meaning do not hang around etc. Simply drop whatever baseballs you have left at home plate or give them to the Home coach (whatever the protocol is in your area).

Now we have a tough call to end the game.

Sitch: Score tied bottom of 7. 2 outs and R2. B1 singles to right and here comes R2 heading home.

F2 obstructs R2's path and you rule OBS which means Score the run and the game over.

I think it's a good bet that the Defensive manager is going to want an explanation.

As mentioned above our normal coarse of action when the game is over is to drop the baseballs greet our partner and head for the car.

Now the question?

Do you stand there and answer the coaches question?
If so how long are you going to explain it?
In addition since the game is over the coach could say those "choice words" so do you toss AFTER the game?

Bottom line: What is your protocol when the game does not end in the normal manner. It could be anything from a balk call, interference, FPSR to end the game etc.
