This started in Carl's "Championship Game" thread that was deleted. A member asked me to clarify what happened when a couple of coaches dogged me pre game. I know that others have had similar experiences. Hell, I know one guy that tossed a coach as he was entering the gate. He was getting dressed in the parking lot when the bus rolled in with the visiting team. The coach followed in his own car and stopped to see who the umpires were. He saw the one umpire and said something like, "Oh ****, I've got you again. What did I do to deserve this?" Needless to say, he didn't have to endure that umpire or the game.

You mean the coach wasn't just joking around, with a smile on his face? Coaches are all the time saying stuff like "oh no, not you again" with a big old grin on their faces. It is hard to believe a coach would say this with malice to the umpires before a game.
And since when did umpires' jurisdiction start in the parking lot? Should have just laughed and let it go, and made him endure the whole game, umpires and all.

So if a coach is smiling, he couldn't possibly
be serious,right? Backstabbers often smile at
your face.Unless I know that I have a mutually
respective relationship with a coach, I'm not
going to appreciate any comments of that sort.

Umpduck,
I do have mutual respective relationships with many coaches, and the joking around goes both ways. I know which coaches I have trouble with, and which ones I don't. If a coach is actually stupid enough to say something like that in a serious manner, and if it is a coach that I know hates me, I would wait until I'm on the field, bait him, then run him. How can one actually justify running a coach for something said in the parking lot before the game? I could see myself trying to explain my way out of that one.
