I know this is a different situation all together, but nonetheless when a coach posts, he is torn apart no matter what the situation.

Do you really think the other situation in which I made the above quote is in any way similar to this one? I certainly didn't mean to appear to "tear you apart", but I do think you need to understand what the accepted practice is for many umpires in this situation.
