Buddy waits for coach to get to him and before coach can say anything..
Buddy: Coach, I know I'm the newbie and you are out here to see what I will take and how I will react to you, so just say what you're going to say so we can get on with the game.
Coach (a bit flabbergasted): Uh, OK.....what did you have on that call?
Buddy: I had an out
Coach: You're not going to change that call?
Buddy: Nope
Coach: What's your name?
Buddy: (states his name), sir.
Coach: I like you, (name)! - turns and goes back to his dugout.
My buddy has not had any issues with this coach since!
