Exactly, and he taught them an acceptable manner in which to "lose it".

So, I'd take the kid, lose the coach, & be impressed with the umpires for not getting involved where they weren't really needed.

In your opinion, coach, were they not needed because they didn't see it? Were they not needed because this event wasn't visible to the public?
What if this happened on a field without a dugout...standing at the bench near the parents and other fans. Do you thinkthe umpires should ignore incidents like this, at this age level, in full view of the public?
