" . . . i know the PU well. VP of my local association."

OK, so here comes Mr. Arrogant:

I would walk into the the PU and say: "Hey Mark, how long have we known each other?

Mark: "Mmmm, 10 Years?"

Mr. A: "OK, let me get this straight you have just told this coach it was OK for him to be outside the dugout AFTER I told him he couldn't be out, right?

Mark: "Yep!"

Mr. A: "So not only are you going to over rule me and set aside a rule you have decided that our friendship can 'just end' right now and right here, right"?

Mark: "Well I told him it was OK . . . "

Mr. A: "OK, you have a choice right now: 1) tell him to get into the dugout or 2) I will not only leave this game right now and go home and leave you and your partner to do the game AND I will never work with you again or speak to you again. YOU MAKE THE CALL.

Perhaps this will be easy for him maybe he would rather NOT work with me again.

I am with BigUmp . . . my ball and I am going home.
