it's not you
Me and my partner are doing a Connie Mack tournament the other night and here's what happens...........
Bottom of the second inning and my partner calls a ball...there's two out in a nothing to nothing game and now there is a full count on the batter. The Manager calls time and goes and talks to the Pitcher. I (as U2) go in and tell him lets go and he informs me that he's not leaving the field until U1 comes out. My partner comes out and this Manager goes into a trirade about the last pitch. My partner does a great job a listens to him (positive umpiring 101), after about twenty seconds of this my partner informs him "coach, I've listen to you now let's get on with the game". The coach will not leave the field.....my partner asks him three times to leave, he finally asks him "Coach are you looking to get tossed over this ?" The Coach got even worst...so he got tossed. How could have this situation been avoided.....from our side my partner was correct.....but once again summer ball brings out the worst in parents trying to coach there sons. The bottom line is that they're doing more harm than good. This doesn't happen during the regular high school season but during the summer........look out!
