Arrogance
I did attempt to have a post-game talk with him, but his overwhelming arrogance would not allow him to hear anything I had to say. He is very young and inexperienced. He was in way over his head. I have talked to my assignor and he has heard from the coach. The coach seemed to tell pretty much the same story I did. I sensed the coach's frustration later in the game when his pitcher got spiked around the knee while covering home on a passed ball. He asked if the high spikes were malicious and my partner said, "I am not going to call that." The coach asked how high is too high as he walked away. He made eye contact with me and I did my best to non-verbally let him know that I felt his pain.
