(2) I would have "forced" the arguing team to only have their coach discuss the play with me. At one point the PU seemed to be discussing it with seven players at once.

The link supplied had references to videos for Part-2 and Part-3 of the same incident. A few items I found interesting were:

(A) Players apparently walking away from umpires as they are getting in their trucks, shouting back for them (umpires) to just shut-up and drive home. (Why were the umpires still yelling at players walking away? I like players walking away.)

(B) Players commenting that the umpires never ejected anyone, they just walked off the field.

And my favorite ....
(c) Coach noting, after the umpires had left, "I protest that call. He never called 'Dead ball'. He never called 'Dead ball'. He called 'Time out'."
