While standing there paying no attention to anything in particular I hear "..the biggest game of the year and you're sitting on the F_ _ _ _ _ G bench!!"

As far as I'm concerned the coach already embarrassed himself by uttering those words to a 9/10 yr. old to begin with, so I have no sympathy for this coach.

At this point, we can't really eject, since umpire jurisdiction didn't begin yet. The umpires haven't even arived at the field.

What can be done is a written report to the league administrators describing what happened.

However, my gut teels me that this coach wasn't sqeaky clean to begin with and the BOD of that league simply turned a blind eye.

These are the kinds of comments that could lead to something ugly. A coach has no right to use this type of language to a 9 yr. old. If this were upper ball that's one thing but not in youth ball.
