Is that worthy of ejection? Mind you, this guy was a big ol' boy. Probably a former defensive lineman.
If you weren't sure, you shouldn't have taken any action.

OC doesn't like the way her player ran bases, so did the old grab the player by the face mask and shake well before serving. Ump warns coach. Coach says, "I don't tell you how to do your job, don't tell me how to do mine."
She got tossed.
Warranted?
Depends? I would have to see it, but I tend to agree with the coach's statement.

Now, bringing it to the attention of a TD would be another issue

I thought he wasn't sure of F5 or F6.

If it wasn't worth addressing during the game, why bother addressing it after the game?

Who said anything about waiting until after the game?
