Be me: just working the bases
1B Coach: She's ILLEGAL! That's illegal! You gotta call that!
F1: Keeps throwing with a "hitch in her giddyup" but never replants or hops
...
Me, between pitches/innings: "Coach, really ... I've seen her throw three innings and haven't called an IP. What's illegal?
1B Coach: She's illegal!!! Can't you SEE it!
Me: What's illegal?
1B Coach: "nothing relevant to the pitching motion, but subtle references to 'we don't know what we're doing out here'
Me: ignores 1B assistant and puts him on the radar
(Sorry for text meme format but I thought it was applicable here.)
