Pretty Simple huh?
Coach starts asking me about the head of the bat, exactly how far did the bat come etc...
I told him, Coach, In my judgment she made an attempt.
He brings walks away and comes back out with a bat and asks me to show him exactly what I saw! 
I told him, Coach, I am not here to give you a coaching clinic and In my judgment she made an attempt. Let's Play Ball! - Fortunately for him he walked away and continued the game.

I had a partner on Friday that when I asked if a batter went, he gave me a safe signal and said "yes." I had to meet with him to see what, exactly, he meant. He said she had offered at the pitch. I told him that call is normally accompanied by a hammer! (This is no rookie, either. He has more years in this than I do.)
