Thanks for the inputs. I would never put what I do above the game or interfere with the flow. It would have been very easy to just shout up at the booth 12 ft away that he was starting but to have pitches thrown while lineups were being called was out of line. The coach will be more attentive to letting the umps know our procedure. I've been doing this 2 years and this was a first. I was embarassed and upset by it.
