R1 & R3 two out. My team leading 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth. Ground ball to F6. He throws to F4 for the force. BU signals "out" and immediately changes to "safe". I come out to discuss.

Me: Why did you change the call?
BU: The runner beat him to the base.
Me: Why did you signal out and then change to safe then?
BU: Your fielder came off the bag before he got the ball.
Me: Which is it? He beat him or the fielder came off.
BU: I can't explain it coach. He is just safe.

At this point, I knew I was getting nowhere so I walked away.

After the game ended the PU caught me and said, "Sorry Coach. We have these kinds of problems with him all the time. You need to call the assigner and tell him you don't want him on your field again. I don't like working with him.

I was didn't know what to say. I nodded and walked away.
