Again, I think that you are giving FAR FAR FAR too much leeway to ASSistant coaches. Assistant coaches have 1 job - coaching their players. Their job is NOT to give any lip to the umpires. If it requires ANY effort more than 4 words and a stop sign to "calm down" as ASSistant coach, he's gone. The manager gets more leeway, but HE is the only one who should be disputing/discussing calls with you.
And as an aside, interestingly I've never had problems with a Christian school in baseball, but I would agree with all of the above comments regarding the poor behavior/demeanor of the Christian school FOOTBALL coaches I've worked with, as compared to their public school brethren.
