On the diamond, nobody yells at me. I take care of my own business. Now the MLB is a whole different animal. It's entertainment, a TV reality show, if you will. Don't confuse MLB with what we do out there. And that's the real problem, 'cause we run into managers that do.

Not in my games. Most of the time coaches in basketball especially good ones spend most of the time yelling at their players or "begging" for a call.
Things like he walked, over the back, he pushed him, etc.,
if they cross the line (just as in baseball), its easy to take care of ... T - sit down for rest of the game coach - and I'm giving the other team the ball and a chance to make two points.
Baseball, coaches spend most of the game yelling at their players and "begging for calls" - "good pitch", "what was wrong with that one" "come on blue call it both ways" "that was low" etc., what recourse do we have? Sure I can shut them up, I can eject them, but their is NO penalty for their team. Often, it HELPS their team as many coaches get ejected in baseball on purpose.
Anyway, just what I see ... might be different in others parts of the country.
