I coached softball for 2 summers.

I had the hardest time with umpires who clearly were pulling things out of their backsides. But I never, ever told them I was an umpire. It just wouldn't help.

I got ejected once each summer. In both cases, it was an umpire who decided that he was above answering any questions whatsoever and decided the easiest way to deal with me was to make me go away.

When one found out I was an assigner for HS softball, he tried to talk his way back into my good graces the next day. That made things even worse in the end.
