I agree. Those two are out of line. Tsk,tsk,tsk.
As an umpire, Kaliix, how would you personally handle a coach of, say, an Under 12 baseball team that constantly "worked" the umpiring crew? By "worked", I mean constantly questioned calls with the view of getting other calls made in his favor. Exactly how much would you personally let that coach get away with, and what would you do about it?
I'm also wondering how the other umpires on this board view coaches deliberately "working" them- especially in the younger age groups, and what they'd do about it also.

Under 12 baseball games usually have under experienced officials and under experienced coaches, and therein lies the problem. To some extent this happens in older games to. Depending upon the official , his experience, confidence and phase of the moon that day, you can get a plethra of opinions here.
Generally speaking, I put and end to it very early. MOST coaches find out their limits very early with me , when I'm tested. But if there is no need to insert myself, then you won't even know I was there. I have seen officials with years of experienced get totally crapped upon and others that toss people at the drop of a dime. I don't know if there is a receipt that can be used against this. All though many will tell you differently.
