Anoher comment that is sure to set me off - "Call it both ways, Blue!"
When I hear that from anyone participating in the game, I issue a warning, saying "Coach, that comment means that you think I am giving the other team something I am not giving you. You are questioning my integrity. I may miss a call, but you will NOT question my integrity as an umpire!"
I have never had to eject a coach for repeating the comment. And most coaches in my area remember not to use that phrase in future games.
