In addition to coaching basketball I also coach Rec League baseball. I am at the park to catch a game and the game I came to watch doesn't have umpires. Another parent and I agree to help them out. Same story...we aren't umpires but willing to help out etc.etc.
Part way through the game opposing coaches get into it about a call close play at first base. They weren't even arguing with us for the call. The first base coach was arguing with the head coach in the dugout behind him. I go over and tell them to take it down a notch. Game continues but now the one coach is giving me a fit from the dugout. I tell him to be quiet or I am going to toss him. "You can't do s..t because you aren't in charge." I told him that he put me in charge when he talked me into umpiring his game and I tossed him.
League director came over from other field when he heard the commotion and agreed with me. Upheld the ejection and coach had to go before the association board to answer for his actions.
