I actually had a coach stick up for my call during a game. Situation: Bases loaded with one out. Batter hits a slow roller to 1st base who comes up and puts a tag on batter-runner. She flips the ball to home plate, for what all the parents think is a double play. Except, they forgot it wasn't a force at the plate. After I make a huge sell safe call, they are all over me. I hear head coach say something to the effect of "It was the right call. That wasn't a force play, she had to make the tag and we've been working on this."
I felt so vindicated.
