Thst should have ended the discussion.
Also said that an overthrown ball that leaves the field of play is 1+1, so his runner should have gotten third on the ball that was thrown into the stands at first base.
Duh! "You got your two coach, first and second."
"one umpire to another, you have to appeal that."
Wow! And he still got to finish coaching the game. No wonder his team lost, they were playing by a different set of rules than the rest of us.

A lot of him staying in the game comes from:
1. I'm a really nice guy
2. They way he said it. He wasn't yelling, screaming, etc., he was talking to me, between innings usually, very calmly. No tirade, no screaming, no "you're wrong blue" "you suck blue" etc. As professional as he could be. That's why he stayed.
3. I pride myself in not throwing coaches out that a lot of umpires would. I have my triggers, my certain things you don't say to me.
