This happened to me once. On Monday night wearing a red shirt (USSSA Slow pitch) trying to double off a runner who had left too early ball goes out of play, I put the runner at second. Offensive coach goes nuts, a lot too nuts and gets to watch the rest of the game from the parking lot. On Friday the same team but with me in a blue shirt (ASA Slow pitch) the near exact thing happens, but this time the team is on defense, I put the runner on third. Same coach goes nuts telling me that the guy from Monday told him the runner only gets second. I remind him that was me and the ruling was correct for Monday, but incorrect for Friday. While his behavior was better, he never understood that the difference wasn’t days of the week but governing bodies. He protested the ASA game to USSSA (protest denied, thanks for the $25).
