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 don't know what type of tournament in which you were umpiring, but if you were scheduled to umpire, I would be telling the TD that if he doesn't want me to umpire then pay me. BUT my bigger concern is didn't the rest of the umpires in this tournament have the intestinal fortitude to tell the TD that either you umpire or every umpire in the tournament walks immediately.]

If I was one of your partner in the rotation, I would have walked with you.

another case of not having umpire advocate assignors. I was working an tourney and there was someone ejected. The Host brang that person back from the parking lot and let them sit there and watch the game with all the fans. as I walked off many threats to kick my a$$ were issued. I kindly reminded the team from NY that they were in backwoods virginia.

If it was clear that he was removed from an already-made assignment for this, I wouldn't have worked either. We'd find a bar. Let them umpire their own game.
