Joel,
I've called a few like that! I'm always amazed at the umpires around here who don't wear all their equipment when calling the younger ages... that's when I get peppered the most. Not life threatening, but it can sure sting.
Try to give the coach who made the "nice stop" comment a break - maybe he was embarassed about his team / feeling sorry for you and was just trying to lighten things up a bit.
