I agree that the guy isn't fit to coach children. He's got two of his own on that team, and they fight with each other all the time. And I mean literally. The other night, one of them went up to the other one and pushed him over after he dropped a ball on a play at the plate.
And what did the coach do? Not a dadgum thing. But he constantly sits there and yells at the other kids. I can't stand him, and I'm so glad his team lost the league championship, that way he doesn't get to coach the All-Star team in the tournament.

Why didn't you eject the shover?

I wanted to, but several reasons I didn't:
1) It was the league championship game.
2) It was a teammate. Had he shoved an opponent, I would have.
3) Both teams were already playing with only 8 players (permissible by local league rules because parents are stupid enough to schedule vacations right in the middle of baseball season, including the championship game) and if I had tossed him, the game would have been over.
3A) It wouldn't have been fair to the other kids on his team that knew how to behave.
4) There were about 300 people there and I didn't have a death wish.
