What About This Coach; Dump Him?

[JRutledge]

The main problem I had with the discussion is it went on too long. The umpire made the call and that is it. I would not have even discussed anything with the grounds keeper. If the coach did not agree with the size of the box, then he should have said something before the game.

Another problem I would have had was where the other umpire was during most of this discussion. Then when that other umpire came and I said enough, I would have walked away from him. He follows me and then we have a problem and likely an ejection. Also bringing out the rulebook would have also been a big no-no. The discussion just went on too long about the same thing over and over again.

Peace
