Walking away or not, this is an ejection. What if he would said "you f---ed us?" Same thing.

You talking to me? I have not disagreed that this is an ejection.

The coach put it on a tee for you. You didn't swing and miss, you looked at strike 3 called. You almost turned and dumped him, when you should have turned and dumped him.

Looking for a "next time" isn't the way to do it. You should have ejected today, started fresh next time. Now your "radar" is going to be on, which can possibly distract you in some small way from the job at hand. If you had ejected him in this game, he would be the one who would be watching himself next time. JMO.

In the heat of the battle I can't be thinking about what my assigner might think.

Please provide examples of ejections he did not think were defensible.
