Ejection

[stratref]

Personally, as soon as the assistant coach starts arguing or really saying anything after leaving his box he and his head coach are benched.
I am not really a fan of benching normally but in this case this is explicatly supported by rule.
Plus the head coaches second discussion would have gone, "Can we talk about that play where you dumped my player?", "No" as I turn and find somewhere else to stand until he gets the hint that discussion during the game is not going to happen. Plus the rabbit ears comment gets him close to the boot all on its own, it is a dirrect comment on your judgement and integrity. Boot him and get a coach who wants to coach and not argue with you about a player who no longer is in the current game.

I would've cut the coach off, said "That's ancient history," and walked away from him. If he follows, it's much easier to eject him if necessary. I'm certainly not going to stand there and listen to his side of the story after he had 2 innings to come up with one.

Rabbit ears? Bye bye.

Yea the coach was just talking in a normal tone each time he came to talk to me. In hind sight I believe he was just frustrated and wanted to come up with an excuse for his player. I have found out that this particular team's next game is against a big rival and that it counts towards seeding for the tournament. The player ejected just so happened to be one of the best on his team and by getting ejected he will not be allowed to play.
