You think Coach K is bad?

After the 2nd T, McCall then goes tableside that allows Floyd to keep screaming at him. Why even go close to a coach (who is obviously upset with you) that has been ejected?

Hall goes into a "touchy-feely" dance with Floyd. It appears that Hall is trying to appease Floyd and (0:48of the clip) even motions toward McCall in a "ask him" response. Now we don't know what was said but the appearance of Hall trying to play "good-cop/bad-cop" doesn't look good.

After the 2nd T, Hall then goes to the scorebook without addressing Floyd who is still on the floor. Sure, game management doesn't do the best job at getting Floyd off the floor but there is no reason why Cartmell has to deal with Floyd alone. Cartmell (without putting a hand on him) does his best to keep Floyd away from McCall. Deal with the coach first, then go to the scorebook and access the penalties.

Very nice breakdown...from the comfort of your office chair in front of your computer.

Had you been there, with that madman screaming in your face, do you honestly think you would have handled it any better than that crew did?

Agreed. But that's what Pyatt and Kersey did after the ejection -- they didn't let Floyd get anywhere near Hartness.

Those of us that work baseball probably have had this situation in the past since ejections are more common there. Once the coach is ejected, the other umpire's job is to get between the two and get the coach off the field. The ejecting umpire can then walk away. Since the coach no longer has access to the official he's mad at, odds are the situation will not escalate further.

Unless the coach is a complete madman like Floyd and his conference commissioner is an enabler, like Floyd's.
