IMHO:
I agree with you in principle. However, if you have done much "jerk-ball" you will know that the less communicaton you have with the "players" the better off you are going to be. The sarcastic answer had no place either. I'm sure a quick one word answer ie: YES would have been appropriate. On the other hand, I haven't had a men's league yet where Ts and ejections were not the norm and I'm not about to "get into it" or have a rules clinic with some used-ta-be or could-a-been.
