Pony director comes over and threatens to remove me if I keep "coaching" the kids. Pretty silly if you ask me...especially since they don't seem to say anything to a coach or parent berating kids. Priorities misguided IMO.
Anyways, others nearby were commenting on how tired they were of this type of running of tournaments by the directors. Its wearing thin. Let fans be fans.

Feel free, as a spectator, to say anything you like, within the confines of normal decency, and I will gladly pay you no attention, as an umpire. If the coach wants you to stop "coaching" that's his business, not mine. The tournament director should be concerned with the spectators who cross the "normal decency" line.
