But why on earth are you unwilling to answer some questions about the ejection?

You really think it's appropriate for the AD to second guess the umpire here? Dress it up any way you want, but that's what he was doing by trying to paint him into a corner. MTD absolutely did the right thing by keeping the discussion on track and ending it when the AD made it clear he was second guessing him.

Whatever the AD thinks of MTD, he was already thinking it and MTD's answer was not going to change it. In essence, he was trying to coach MTD.
