Why is it a respect issue? Nobody else knows what you're talking about.

Respect means a lot to me. If you know what you are doing as a coach, you do not come out in that situation in my opinion. The fact that this was a first year coach is telling. And the fact that no veteran coach would wait for several outs to debate a call. And yes, umpires have a right to have respect or not have respect for coaches.

I wouldn't question that; however, I do question what benefit is gained by sharing that opinion with the coach in a situation like this.

It isn't going to make things better and can only make things worse.

The benefit I got out of saying that, he did not come out there again for something stupid. He knew how I felt about the situation.

I feel we worry too much about what a coach thinks. Nothing got worse or drastically changed as a result of the exchange.

And hopefully, this first-year coach learned something that will make him a better coach.

You are both right. And if you are not right, that is not my concern.

If history is any indication, the next time I have him after this year might be never.
