Ump out of Line
CDcoach this is a great example of what is wrong with minor baseball today to many umpires have their nose way to high when it comes to dealing with coaches. As an umpire and a coach the only thing I would have done differently when he asked you to show him the rule was to tell him that you didn't have one on you but to check with his partner to make sure they were both on the same page if the outcome didn't change then protest. I would also let the league that you coach in, the circumstances as to what happened hopefully they will deal with it so that this will not happen to another team. Remember never to pull a rule book or indicator on an umpire even if he asks for it, many times he will bait you into an ejection.
