You should be aware that this is not likely your umpire's first game ever. We ALL know who you're really talking to here.
And recognize that there are 2 sides to every story, and your PU may have been listening to a lot of jabber from a fan sitting close enough that he thought it was one of your coaches.
However - if events unfolded exactly as you said (with no prior Ball-Strike grumbling from you, etc), I think your umpire was probably out of line (probably twice). It's possible that he realized that when he approached YOU to talk about it (Most umpires would never ever do this).
