"I couldn't justify giving a T. I feel that it is within my right as a coach to demand a certain level of respect from umpires, and I also think that, especially within the context of a conflict, that both parties should avoid familiarity. What do you guys think? Sorry for the long post."
What I think is very simple, regardless of your position with the team.
You earn respect. The arrogance of beleiving that you can demand it, is a personal problem that sooner or latter your going to have to deal with.
Once you accomplish this, you will find out that you will be able to DISCUSS things in the latter innings of the game, because you will still be there.
