Situation: BU at C position during junior legion
Third base (Blue Team) coach was yelling to R2 "off" when the pitcher made to motion to go home, about the 3rd or 4th pitch the Red Team coach storm onto the field to talk to a partner (1st year and third game behind the plate) and states "He can not do that!"

toss him. who is an assistant coach to do or say anything like this to an umpire in this, or pretty much any situation?

So I tell the manager and coach (Red Team), "He did nothing illegal and if he does I’ll eject him"

i'm not so sure about saying this unless you actually do plan to throw the coach out immediately when he breaks a rule or does something illegal.

Three pitched go by then Blue Team third base coach says OFF! to R2, then the Ted Team coach comes out on to the field and begins to complain, the Blue Team third base begins to explain he did nothing wrong as they both walked to me like two kids caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

toss the red coach, he has no place on the field at this time or point in the game, or probably any game. suggest that the blue coach hold up a second, you really have nothing with him and just deal with the ejection and then tell him nothing is wrong and that hes alright

So I looked at the Red Team coach , and said "You are the one making the issue out nothing, let talk between innings and keep the game moving" He says "NO!" so the Red Teams’s manager tries to pull him off the field

toss him after saying no, and then toss him again when he needs to be pulled off the field

I realized he is an idiot.

id say so, hes overstepping his boundaries quite a bit. i hope assistant coaches dont normally pull this crap in your area




the time out thing was kind of funny
