I wasn't there and am only going by what another assistant told me but he did say that the other assistant didn't even open his mouth yet and was tossed and when the manager asked why the assistant was tossed, he was told that only the manager was allowed to speak to the umpires.
They didn't know the FED rule before the tournament but definitely knew it after that ejection! |
That's NOT the FED rule. No rule prohibits any participant from speaking to umpires. The FED rule prohibits assistant/base coaches from
leaving their position in order to
argue a call.
Sounds as if some umpires might be taking advantage of the rule to make it mean something else.
