RAT!!!
Not me! "Good coach, then show them your total support by having a seat in the dugout with them for the rest of the game!"

Two weeks ago, I had a varsity coach approach me after what looked like a "catch and carry" on a foul ball down the 1B line. He had R2, R3, so a run was at stake, though his team was up by a lot (10 or more). I had ruled that the fielder did not leave LBT, and here comes the coach: "are you SURE he didn't... you know, I don't need this run, I shouldn't have come over here. Sorry."

Uh, no problem, coach.

Now there's a coach who knows how to preserve his ammo.
