There is a local guy here who has probably had issues with every coach in the tri-county area at one time or another.
He always says at his plate conferences......."I don't care what has happened in the past, but this is your only warning for bad behavior". Sets the tone for the rest of the game.......sigh
I try not to work with him, but he calls every night and every tournament. It is impossible to avoid him the whole year.
There is another umpire who worked for me and I had to fire a number of years back.......I have been able to get the scheduler to avoid ever calling with him though. I still umpire with his wife from time to time.
