I don't feel that any association should allow a coach to blackball any umpire. The association should have a committee to oversee their umpires and give the coaches a forum to raise their complaints. The association should have guidelines as to how to deal with penalties that they deem pertinent. What if you called a good game, but the coach didn't like you for whatever reason, should that be a reason to get blackballed? I don't think so. Umpires should police themselves.
