I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! There's 25,000 people there, and I vaguely hear a warning issued. As the head coach, I was an assistant for 24 years, and as an assistant, you're almost treated like a second grade second-level citizen and you can't say a word. Now, as a head coach I think it is your right to get an explanation of why we got warned. I'm 48 years old. I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man. When I walk out to find out what the warning is, a grown man shooed me. At that point I can now hear him say, "It was a warning issued for arguing balls and strikes." At that point I said, "Because you missed three." At that point, ejected. I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! If that warrants an ejection, I'm the first one to stand here like a man and apologize. Two words that define our program are "own it." And what does that mean? It means you have to own everything that you do without blame, without defending yourself, without excuses. If you guys watch the video, there was a guy that came in extremely aggressively, tripped over Campos' foot, embarrassed in front of 25,000, immediately goes two games suspension and said, bumping the umpire. Immediately does that. There was no bump. He was embarrassed. I shouldn't be held accountable for a grown man's athleticism. I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! They'll retract it, though, because now it's excessive and the reason it was excessive because I was trying to say, I didn't bump him. It is what it is. But if that warranted an ejection, man, there would be a lot of ejections. As an umpire, I feel like it's your job to manage the game, the national championship game, with some poise, some calmness and a little bit of tolerance. I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man! Shooed! Shooed! Shooed! Shooed!
