Me - nothing, I'm on my way to RF, not to have a conversation with PU.

Base coach from the dugout - "he was out of position". I pay him no attention & he says "he was safe, he made a horrible call".
Me - nothing, I'm already in RF and he has not made a PPP (personal, profane, or prolonged) comment.

PU has no business in this, unless the coach makes a personal or profane comment that I can't hear from RF. Since he is in the dugout "prolonged" is not an issue.

Stop umpiring with cotton in your ears. Don't let people yell at you or about you. If they say it were you can hear it. They want you to hear. So address it. Shut them up by yelling at them or run them.
