Gee, coach, I'm really sorry your player is hurt, but what did you expect me to do, tackle the runner?

Yeah.....many years ago a runner overslid the bag........and while on her back kicked at the F4 attempting to make the tag. I called her out and reluctantly tossed her.....it was like a 14U game or so.....I still remember the player....she moved to another ASA district, but was still in our School District......damn fine player.....but her Dad was intense. The other coach was pissed at me.......and I asked him what more did he want me to do. He said I should have prevented it........
