If what Mattinglyfan meant was that he couldn't ask during play, then I misunderstood the post and for that I will apologize.

Like the legless, armless and torso-less Frenchman who was sent to the guillotine, you should have quit while you were ahead.
It might surprise you, rppeewee, to know that most umpires do NOT retaliate against the team when coaches "show them up" and generally behave like idiots. However, even the most mild-mannered umpire will certainly react against any coach who makes personal accusations of "lousy game management" and accuses the umpire of being a "moron". That attitude is an instant ticket to the parking lot. Off you go now, and take that California Redwood-sized chip on your shoulder with you!
