I did it. So I got the authority from somewhere. I think it's called assumed authority. Your speaking strictly to expressed authority.

But it's a great way to disarm the coach and an easy sell.
Oh my god. Please stay the hell away from the ballfield in the future. There's no place for umpires with this attitude.
