You can bet that this coach did not display such antics for the FIRST time. He probably has been doing similar things throughout the year and the BOD or President of the League has done nothing about it.


Later as he passed me to give his batter some instruction between innings he stopped to very quietly tell me that it appears to him and his team that my judgement was tilted in favor of the other team.

Generally speaking I do not pay much attention to coaches comments UNLESS they make it personal. I give the coaches the respect they deserve and I expect the same in return.

It's one thing for a coach to say "Common Blue your killing us" and that's it versus a coach calling me a cheater.

Once he acused you of cheating he should have been Dumped in a heartbeat.
