Tim.
I like the view from my pedestal.

I used to coach adult teams many years ago. I pulled this same kind of crap. Guess what? EVERY ump that did one of my games was ready to eject me, and would after the first comment of any kind questioning their calls.

I deserved it. I will not sit here and try defend my behavior. Yes, some of these guys made HORRENDOUS calls, and worse than against my son, they were against ME!!!

I know far too well where you are coming from, and I am telling your with certainty that if you cannot restrain yourself from making disparaging comments towards umpires, or any sports official while you are at games, you should either:

1 - Quit attending games.
2 - Quit umpiring while your son plays.

I know umpires who could handle it gracefully, and would never think to conduct themselves like you did.

Again, there is no way you can defend your actions.
