It's prep sports, for crying out loud. If coaches want to act like Earl Weaver or Jerry Glanville on the field at that level, we'll be happy to get rid of them, if needed. |

They know who they can go after and who they can't. In my experience, that holds true for all sports. |

Are you going to allow some snot nose kid to draw a line after you call a pitch a strike on the outside corner and he objects to it? You can agree to disagree but how do you keep control in your games if tolerate such nonsense. Look at the clip again. We cannot see the BU but IMO we have indistbutable eveidence that the kid turned around, looked at the BU and then through his helmet and hat in DISGUST at the call. It was not frustration. Then we have the coach condoning this behavior by slapping his player on the back and basically saying "atta boy" Pete Booth

Also, for the most part I think most organizations have an automatic one game suspension to try and clean-up the league. If it's one of the "stud" players then the team will suffer, but if it's a marginal player then for the most part the team will not suffer. It would be nice to get an extra out for a "personal foul" in baseball. I know us umpires wouldn't complain. Pete Booth

My games are NEVER out of control and I don't need to go on the field with a whip and an attitude. Maybe my years of doing Ice Hockey have given me a more relaxed way of handleing situations but I did not see this as a kid showing up an official. I also thought the coach was trying to calm the kid down and handleing the situation but, as always, being there may have been a different scenario. As part of our training for Ice Hockey, we are taught to call the penalties that have an effect on the control and outcome of the game, and maybe overlook those that don't. It depends on flow, previous interaction and sometimes just experience or one's confidence in hisself to be able to reel that game in at any given second. So this is baseball, not hockey! What has already been implied here is that, if this was another incident in a problem game it could result in an ejection. easily. I took it for what it was worth. IMO, I don't need to show everyone all the time who their DADDY IS during the game because I KNOW I am. MY confidence of my skills and ability will always handle the game and I try to find ways to keep people playing. I know others deal differently with this and that is their perogative however, I will go up against the best anytime an have complete confidence in what I do and know the outcome will be decided by the teams on a fair, level and controlled playing field.

I was serious when I said that I simply don't tolerate this kind of behavior. Then again, the odds of me kicking one this badly are only infinitesimally greater than zero. Hard for me to put myself in this place. But the kid's second expression of disgust would be pretty hard for me to ignore, whether on the plate or the bases. |

However, that has nothing to do with unsportsmanlike conduct and bad behavior, so I'm not sure why it's in THIS thread. |

[QUOTE=RichMSN]In football (for example), calling a holding penalty when the run is going the other direction and the person held has no chance to become involved is considered bad officiating.
However, that has nothing to do with unsportsmanlike conduct and bad behavior, so I'm not sure why it's in THIS thread.[/B] Sorry about that. When I go out and buy your book, "Baseball Officiating by RichMSN," I will skip the chapter on game control because, wellll, your just "not sure." |
