The umpire made a improper rule application.
I get the umpire on the side and tell him that I believe F1 can feint to any base while off the rubber. He's a fielder at that point.
Now, PU can take my opinion or leave it; that's his choice as UIC. I've done my job.
If I am PU and my BU makes this incorrect interpretation, I get BU on the side and tell him we are going to right the wrong. That's my job as PU and UIC regarding rule intepretation.
The coaches were ejected for their behavior, not for a misapplied rule. Right or wrong call, coaches are required to maintain appropriate behavior. Although an unfortunate situation, a wrong call or wrong rule interpretation is not an excuse for inappropriate behavior.
Just my opinion,
Freix
