First Fight and Ejection

[Welpe]

With girls, there may be absolutely no warning. The one that got punched could have wronged the other one sometime in softball last summer or even at the beach. I like the advice you've gotten so far. Carefully evaluate but don't lose sleep over this. You can't always stop bad things from happening.

Appreciate everyone's advice and comments. I will take them to heart.

Interestingly enough, I was told these two players did have some history and apparently had a scrap last year.

Ok and too late.

(Breaking things down into unofficial and as self explanatory as possible terms, for the betterment of my officials, is what I do...) The fact that you care this deeply, you did all that you could. In the future, as you can not watch everything, keep an eye on the, let's call it, personal interaction, off ball officiating for the most part. It may be jawing back and forth, it may even be looks. You are obviously Not going to call a foul Every time that you see a warning sign, but once you begin to look for this type of behavior, you will begin to understand what I mean and over time, your game will soar!
