Ump99, for argument sake, I'm going to assume what you have written is true. I hope for your sake it isn't.
The only currency that we trade on is our ability to be impartial and be honest. We should be making our calls based on what we see, and not be influenced by our feelings, the game situation or any other factors. I know this is an ideal, but more often than not we do this.
You don't think that this coach is going to file this away in his memory? You don't think that this isn't going to be talked about between other coach's? Once you lose credibility as an umpire you have lost everything.
If you actually have done what you claim in this post, you have done a grave disservice to the rest of us.
