His quotes don't carry the same meaning since I first heard that related to a group of us by an ex-MLB umpire. Still, I admire what he did on the field and I hope he gets in the Hall some day. Froemming worked to be noticed and he was.
Bigger than the game means, "Hey look at me." Bruce did this well. Milt Pappas agrees.
Sorry, but I won't take the bait on the matter of ejecting coaches for what they did prior to a contemporary incident. Best of luck this season.

In other words, you won't answer a tough question. Probably because you used your real name to register here and don't want to say anything that will annoy an NCAA or IHSA assignor. Too bad - I'd like to actually hear your opinion on whether a coach's behavior earlier in the game changes the relationship between coach and umpire later in the game.
