Then the lemming 1B coach waited until the HC was gone to the dugout, then went and did the exact some thing the HC did in the same order! Even said the same words! Couldn't help but laugh, he not only acted like his HC, he threw his team under the bus at the same time.

But, back on point, in my state there have not been a lot of problems reported with asst. coaches.

Is there that much of a problem with this where the rest of you work HS baseball?
For the most part, we have very few problems with assisitant coaches. Our assc. has made it clear to the head coaches that we will only participate discussions that come from them.
The big problem we face in Alabama is that the State expects there to be a restriction before any ejection, except in the most egregious situations.
