How would you feel?

The ejection was warranted. It's a long story but the words "f@ck" and "you" were used in the same sentence. And the coach gets to coach the next game and the final,while I get the boot.

I'm thinking I just called my last game with this organization!

I think you have a right to feel badly...However, unless the tourney has a game-suspension clause (and most don't), I see why the ADs would want to avoid using you when they have options to use other umps....not a reflection on you or your abilities, or your call....Just situation awareness, and problem avoidance....He HAS to be there, and you don't. Also, the ADs probably feel that the Coach is immature enough to continue to be a problem, which would probably be more true with your presence....Hence, while not fair, I feel it is at least understandable....IMO...
