Tough game with a lot of issues

[David B]

Always hate the games we are called to do in a league that is out of control to start with.

In reading your post, I would think it would have been best to start with a pre game meeting with both coaches and let them know what was going on and expected of them.

That would have covered dugouts, jewelry, who you are going to talk to etc.,

Once the game begins and you start enforcing things, its always awkward and usually ends up like your game did.

As far as the game, just move on and be glad its over. As you stated, you should have called time and called obstruction, but the other plays really were out of your control

One thing I learned is when you have a rookie partner, you do have to keep an eye on them as to where they are. On the play at third, if you saw he was there, you might could have delayed your call until you saw what he had.

Thanks
