Blue: "It had to go past the mound before it could be caught for an out unless it had tipped off her glove."
You: "Interesting rule you just invented blue, I'm afraid I'm going to have to protest that."
Note - the key word here is PROTEST (which requires the umpire to note the game situation so that you can replay this game from this point after the committee overrules him and perhaps boots him from the league). The key word here is NOT "B---S---!", which sets a completely different tone, and likely absolves you of your further coaching duties.
