The coaches did not hear it but I am sure they heard about it. And responding to TexBlue's comments, I totally agree. This particular Umpire is the oldest in our organization and I cant think of anyone that likes to call with him but when you are at that advanced age I think it would be hard to do anything about him as long as he keeps coming back year after year to call. I have always felt he was there only for the money as he NEVER looks like he is happy to be there and in the meetings his emphasis always seems to be on the money. With that said though since I was not directly involved in the incident and only standing behind the parent who the comments were directed to I do not feel it is my place to make any calls to the UIC as I would like to avoid any confrontations considering I do have to call with him in a couple of weeks.
