I hope that "exited the field" does not mean entered the dugout.

Good Grief, You let her call you a liar!???

Did you toss her?
From reading the post it sounds like you did not.
If you did, it might make some sense to ignore the liar remark although I would have spoken to the AD about it

I like the part where it says "no other incidents occured"
Maybe cause this coach just murdered you and got away with it a half dozen times?

Why did the plate umpire do nothing? It appears that the base umpires had to take care of this? Why was this person not ejected after the comment about being a liar?!

Wow, am I the only one with some self respect?

Let's start with the unanimous decision that the initial comments warranted immediate ejection, but then proceed as if, for some ridiculous reason, we didn't eject her...

OK - so we warned her.

Ejected.

and accused (deleted umpire's name) of favoritism stating, "This isn't the first time. You weren't here to see what he did to us last time".
Ejected. (What was our warning for again????!!!!??)

Quote:
I advised her that I was there the last time (deleted umpire's name) was at (deleted team name), and that she needed to just coach her team and leave the comments off. She then walked off and as she did called me a liar.
Ejection. Good grief - what does it take to get ejected around here?!?!

Quote:
I ignored the comment as she was saying it as she exited the field and to respond would only exacerbate the situation. She eventually lost the game, 14-2 in five innings. No further incidents occurred.

Needless to say, feedback was provided....
Hopefully very sternly and in no uncertain terms.
