Umpire wrong. How to handle?

[mcrowder]

This is the head coach's responsibility to fix.

If PU screws up a judgment call, keep it to yourself.

However, if PU screws up a rule, there is nothing wrong with discussing it with PU, if you are the head coach. HC should have, in this case, calmly approached PU and mentioned that he thought he had the rule wrong. Any PU that would eject you for that needs to retire. If he still insists, you protest the game.

An error like this that affects the game MUST be discussed at the time it was made, but by the HC. Don't wait until after the game. Don't wait until tomorrow. Give PU the chance to make it right ON THE FIELD, and protest if necessary.

As scorekeeper, however, you are required to be an impartial observer. I would not mention the error AT ALL, until after your scorekeeper duties are finished. I won't even let my scorekeepers (even though they are invariably parents of one team) make suggestions to their own children during game play.
