Answering Question from Coach

[brumey1107]

Thank you for all for your input, opinions and suggestions.

No doubt what really helps and counts is having the experience and poise in dealing with these types of situations at the time. jicecone and and mcrowder I'll try and remember those helpful lines should this sitch come my way again.

...now the rest of the story...

... after Coach asked I just told the coach "He's safe".
Being:
1) it was a judgment call,
2) didn't request time
3) working solo
ect...

He responds back with "I'm just asking a question". I say "Coach, in the dugout!" and turn and begin walking back to the plate.

Then I hear (you'll love this!!!) the coach yelling to his second baseman "Did you tag him?"

So that's when I spun around and dumped him!!

... on top of all that, a 1/2 inning later he's standing behind the stands no more than 15' from the dugout/field. So, I stop the game and ask him to leave or threaten to have them forfeit.

If nothing else a great learning experiance.

Enjoy your day!!
