I have also tried to get Cell Phone McGee to umpire these games but alot of times he won't because he heard stories about how others were treated by coaches and fans.

In my NFHS rule book, there are 2 pages in there of Code of Ethics for Coaches and a Code of Ethics for Officials. I think you should reread them both...
I actually have not umpired HS ball in a few years and do not have those books. I can probably get a hold of one, though. Please refer me to the page that tells a coach to get his runners called out. I have the code of ethics for our league, and that is not in here.

I did not holler at this guy. I did not show him up. I did not argue with him. Nobody heard what I said to him other than him.
