The coach was arguing a fairly uneventful play that I'm not sure why he was even arguing as he never told me. What he said to me when he came out to argue was, "That's horse****. The only reason you made that call is because you are friends with the coach." I immediately ran him for questioning my integrity and character. It seems to be pretty obvious and my assignor agreed but there were a few umpires that said they would have walked away. Was I too quick or are they not quick enough? I guess he said this because I shook the one coaches hand. He came out to apologize because when I had that time the week before he was out of hand and felt the need to apologize for it.

Don't hold back.

The umpires that would've walked away are gutless turds. How's that for not holding back?

Instant ejection, first game or last game..............never allow your integrity to be questioned................

in my opinion totally justified ejection and I would have serious concerns about a partner who felt that was not ejection worthy........

Can't echo this enough. If someone questions your integrity they're gone.
