Terp, I play modified men's softball over the summer and there are plenty of guys I know who can put a lot of speed and power on a ball underhanded. None of us were there and if the official thought the ball was thrown at him intentionally I can see the "T" and maybe even an ejection for that. As for the rest, I tend to agree with you that there a lot of different tools in the toolbox but sometimes, ending a bad situation is the best option. I have ended Men's wreck ball games because of the actions of the players/coaches. Wreck ball is different but given we weren't there, and did not work through and experience the entire game and actions of the bench, I just cannot say that the forfeit wasn't the best course. I will say, based upon the descriptions, it sounds like the T's were earned. As for the forfeit, I don't know. As for your suggestions that the assigner, school administration, the "league office", whatever, needed to be called and made aware, absolutely.
