[EsqUmp]

1. Another example of why umpires should just keep their mouths shut and walk off the field at the end of the game. Drop the game balls and get the hell out of there. No coach gives a crap if the umpire thinks it was a good game. From my experience, 90% of the umpire who say, "Good game coach" do so only in hopes that the coach will say something similar back to the umpire. I guess that makes the umpire feel good. I know when I have a good game. I know when I make a mistake. I don't need a coaches approval or confirmation after the game. And if you are going to make a comment like that, you better expect to get both sides of a response. You certainly got that here.

2. Now, by hanging out (even momentarily) and engaging in unnecessary/improper conversation after the game, when you should have been half way to the parking lot, you end up with a post-game ejection. It certainly does not make what the coach did correct, but you have to assume some responsibility for not following proper protocol.

3. This is not an appeal.

4. This is not a valid protest. If this was handled according to the rules, maybe you wouldn't have gotten to points 1 & 2.
