wadeintothem,
Perhaps your predisposition to the league's coaches affected your judgement.
Ask a few questions:
  • Are dreading the fact that you have a game with that league?
  • What are your reasons to umpire?
  • What were your reasons to umpire?
  • Are you still having fun?

    And who knows, maybe the fact that you did pull the trigger will benefit the umpires in your league because of the message you sent, ... that sporting behaviour does, in fact, have a place in those dugouts.

    Good luck with it.
