I have heard that numerous times around here. Kinda makes me crazy that people won't take care of business over a little report. I always volunteer to write up the ejection report. .

BTW--- FHSAA, the governing body here in Florida requires officials to fax ejection information to them within 24 hours after the contest. I know a lot of umpires have that hassle in the back of their mind when it comes to ejections here.

Same thing in Pennsylvania - we can fax on submit via the internet.
I don't see the big deal, though I have not volunteered to do somebody else' paperwork.

We've told our umpires in Pensacola that the paperwork should not factor into their decisions on the field. Heck, FHSAA even made the report a fillable pdf on their website. Now if we can talk them into digital signatures, we won't even have to print and sign the form -- we'll just hit submit.

you should give the oppertunity for the coach to attend to the player... if that means you give the coach sufficient time to come and tend to the player or if that means you verbally ask the coach to tend to the player. Personally I would have sold whatever I had then moved away from that posistion to my next posistion. Usually when a coach sees that player so upset the coach will come out and question which lets the player relax. The pause and then moving away from the play creates a sense that you knew you had the call. The response to the player should have not been made. However If she wants to create dismay and continue on with it I would ask the coach to handle it ... after that dump her. But in all actuality I think that by selling then pausing then moving to your next area you make the players screams look more on her rather than you.
