Coach can't have count indicator?

[His High Holiness]

But, one of the board members (again, playing a hometown team) came to our dugout in the last inning as we were playing defense to tell the coach that he needed to put his count indicator away or else he would be ejected! We have 2 coaches keeping track with one, just in case! He said it was illegal, is that true? I've been to alot of games and seen alot of things, but this is way off the charts. We talked to the tournament director after the game was over and he was even surprised and apologized. I approached the man who rudely talked to our coach (my husband) ...

As an assignor, I have had to listen to the complaints about officials for years. The home team has one version of the story, the visitors another, and the umpires a third. It is like they are talking about 3 different games. Almost never do I get the whole story from any one party.

I wonder what the WHOLE story is here. I am willing to bet that you did not tell it.
