The only ejection you regret is the one you did'nt make!

What about the one you made but think you shouldn't have made?

What about them? If an ejection you fail to make does exist, then surely an ejection you shouldn't have made but made also happens from time to time.

I'll let you know when the first one of these has happened.

Perhaps on other days I would be slower to eject someone, but the one thing in common with ALL my ejections is if the coach hadn't come out of the dugout and acted like a jackass they wouldn't have happened.

Of course, I have a grad total of one ejection the entire season.

Absolutely agree. I've never had buyer's remorse after dumping a coach or player. I don't look for trouble and when it does appear I make it go away.

Not so far, after 18 seasons. They actually all eject themselves. I have had many a time when I kicked myself all day for not giving a coach or player the early exit they were trying for.

Ejection #1 - I was talking w/ head coach about what he thought was an "offer" on a bunt attempt. From the bench assistant coach yells "you're terrible"...after listening to the head coach who left his position in the dugout to argue balls and strikes after being warned by me to not go to the batter's box to act out the play, he goes to homeplate to act out the play, ejection #2. Then later in the game, a hitter was holding the bat out in front of the plate to attempt a bunt and the pitch was thrown behind him...the young catcher asked me if he offered, I said no...the batter heard the catcher tell me that "I was throwing the game," ejection #3. There were other incidents from F2 in the game which I was no longer going to tolerate the BS from a kid who clearly has no clue about the rule, shaves once every three weeks and wanted me to call a strike on a "bunt attempt" when the pitch was thrown behind the batter. Yes this was a political decision. Had I stood there and taken the $hit from this particular team, I'd still be working the championship.

No, Johhny - you wouldn't be "working" the championship. If you surrendered your professionalism and pride you'd simply be present there.

You worked that game, you did what needed to be done. YOU can sleep tonight.

That is preposterous. Never have I regretted an ejection I made. Every one was well deserved. I have regretted some that I should have ejected but didn't, but never one that I did make.

Boy, is this ever the truth as I see it.

I seldom eject, so when I do, it's always a no-doubter.

Whenever you give them enough rope to hang theirselfs, and (it certainly seems as though you did), and they still hang theirself, then there are no regrets.

Stick to your morals and professionalism and if your not backed up by your assignor, then he probably isn't worth working for.

See Ya.

It sounds like a lot of people regret not making an ejection, but do not have an ejection they regret making. This suggests that you have a long leash, so that you will not have an unnecessary ejection, but this comes at the cost of taking abuse from time to time.

Does anyone know the automatic word for an ejection?
