Why is it that none of you will attempt to answer this?

I never said you have nothing. You just don't have an IP, and likely not an ejection unless the coach keeps doing it after you told him to stop. I completely don't understand the obvious desire of some here to create an incident out of this. This is simply (at most, since you brought up ridiculous substances like motor oil ... and not in the OP) a "Cut it out, coach, you can't do that," unless he pushes the issue. In the OP, I'm not saying a word - like so many have said, by the time this ball goes through several warm up pitches, nothing the coach did matters.
