[QUOTE=tankmjg24;896754] I have also thought of just telling the league that I shall not be back as an official. Thoughts?[/QUOTE
This is probably your best option unless, you like kissing up to people that are spineless and just believe that their only function in life is to try and make everyone happy. Kind of like a PIT (Politician in training). And if that is the case hand in your hat as an official.
I just did a game on Tues in which one of the coaches approached me at the begining of the game and discussed questioning calls. I have done several of his games. I told him I have no problem answering reasonable questions about a call or a rule but, if you come out to argue about a rule you know nothing about or try to show me up, your probably gonna be going hiome early.
Guess who went home early over a straight forward infield fly that the fielder was parked under but did not catch, that I announced. After telling me I owed him two calls, I sent him home. He complained to the Pres. and he informed him that he was suspended the next game.
This will not be the only time in your officiating career this situation will arise and as long as you act professional, not be confrontational, know and enforce the rules as properly as possible, you can walk away with your head up high.
SCREW THEM!!!!!
