My first ejection!

[Steve M]

The first one is probably the hardest one - we tend to take way too much before tossing somebody. They come easier after that. Experience will let you know whether your giving them enough rope to hang themselves. You don't want to take too much, but you want to make sure you don't eject too quickly.

Now, with your F4, I am not going to my partner or the player's coach to quietly let them know he's gone. When I toss that clown, I'm pointing at him and giving him a big finger ejection. I want everyone to know that clown is gone, that I tossed him. My partner will approach the coach and ask for the replacement's name - to put it on his lineup card.

Experience will also tell you when to toss somebody quietly, by going to the coach, and when to use the "big finger ejection".
