Pitcher turning the shoulders

Nothing OOO about taking care of business with a skip that is "inciting" the crowd or his team. Haven't seen a conference yet call that a bad ejection.

How does volume come into play? Neither the crowd or umpire would have heard it otherwise.

Dave Yeast used to have a name for umpires who left it up to others to take of business. I won't repeat it here.

If you believe a coach is 'inciting' the crowd by yelling that a balk occured then you should retire or at least confine yourself to games where a tee and soft baseball are involved. You won't have to worry about coaches yelling "That was a balk." then.

If anyone was making that point, I'd agree. They should burn their gear, donate their unis to Goodwill and be forced to listen to Michelle Bachmann speeches on a loop for days at a time.

But, thankfully, I didn't notice anyone in this thread stating that. I certainly didn't. If you find someone did, let me know and we'll both call them OOO's.
