"When I could not get a response from him I finally went ballistic..."

If you coach youth ball you should not have "gone ballistic". If you umpire you REALLY should not have "gone ballistic". You're the role model, and guess what your players learned? That if the umpire does something you don't like, it's acceptable to "go ballistic". Better to bite your lip (your going ballistic won't accomplish anything save venting a little, and that's far outweighed by the show you're putting on for the players) and make some phone calls and do some paperwork.
I would say the term "rat" fits you quite well - you're fine until something doesn't go your way (justly or unjustly), and then you turn and bite. Work on it, then call yourself an umpire.
