MTD, Sr.: Good morning Mr. Xxxxx, I am Mark DeNucci, Sr., and I umpired your school's jr. varsity baseball DH with Xxxxx H.S. yesterday. I am calling to inform you that Player Xxxxx Xxxxx was ejected in the bottom of the second inning for dropping an F-bomb after failing to throw out a runner at third base.
AD: Do you always eject a player for swearing?
No Sir, not in all cases. If it is "judged to be of a minor nature" (NFHS3-3-1g2 penalty), , I will properly warn the individual player one on one and let the coach know about it. However, in this case the profanity was loud enough that everyone on and off the field clearly understood what was said and could be offended by its use.
You just controlled the conversation and let the AD know that not only do you know the rules but, have a very good understanding of them and used discretion in the application of them.
By not answering the question , the AD probably went away with the opinion that you may be intolerant in your interpretation of the the rules and unapproachable. They are literally to be taken in a "Black and White" nature. Further punishment by the school was not requred.
This does not sound like your posts here however, its just my opinion. If the AD wanted to carry on from there, then he was just showing what a Ahole he was.
