Hmmm...
I would tell my partner that at the home plate conference we said "Everyone and everything inside", and the coaches "had no problems with that". Then YOU changed things after the fact. Well, big boy, you're the UIC, but be aware that Legion ball plays OBR with only a few exceptions, and NONE of those exceptions are allowing people out of the dugouts who shouldn't BE out of the dugouts. So now you're not only changing what BOTH COACHES agreed to at home plate, you're also making up a rule that you can't back up using the rules we're playing by. Unfortunately, that sets a precedent for not only the other team, but for the rest of the games being played in this tournament. Are you sure you want to do this? Oh, I will also be filing a formal report with the appropriate commissioner. Your call.

You explained to the coach that he was to stay inside the dugout. He not only tried to overrule you, but created a dispute between you and your partner. I would have no problem ejecting him for his antics. After the game I would hope you chewed the hell out of your "partner" and made sure you 1) Never work with him and 2) Never assign him to any games you cover.

First, I would eject the coach for being an a$$hole. Then I would tell my ex-friend at the plate to have a nice day. Once I leave, I don't care if the coach comes back on the field either.
