One of the coach's jobs is to win games using good sportsmanship.

The main debate is whether jwwashburn was breaking the rules of good sportsmanship when he tried to decieve the umpire.

Let's list some terms that we associate with sportsmanship, and discuss whether the attempt to decieve violated any of them.
I don't need to read any more negative comments about poor cell phone McGee. If you have any dignity left for Mr McGoo, why choose to continue to "dump on the young ump" and bring it here for the "umpteenth" time. All this could have been averted had the "coach" taught the little boy to run to the next base. There were some good comments provided by J Paco and others. But those comments have been "drowned out" trying to keep the rat in his box.

In summary 1) Rats have no business talking to the umpire after the game ends to clarify anything.
2) Rats have no business talking to the umpire between innings of a game to clarify anything. In short, the rat should have left the field without exchanging words with the umpire. He got away with some more cheese.
3) The only reason we discuss the proper or improper behavior of rats is to keep our cheese.

The "young ump" is an adult who took a job that he was not qualified to do. He made no effort to do said job properly.

Incredible that you would say: "all this could have been averted....If the coach." The UMPIRE blew the incredibly easy call. He might have been the only person there that did not know that the kid was supposed to be out. Think about that...even the 9 year old players knew that this moron got the call wrong....even the grandmothers knew it. But, it is allllll the coach's fault.

Which is easier...teaching a 9 yr old to get to the base when he is crying or an adult umpire to call him out when he is tagged way off the base. Ohhh, poor Cell Phone McGhee had never seen a play like before.....the coach should have helped him....Booo hoooo!!!

The 9 yr old runner had never been beaned by a thrown ball while running before, either.

Guess you didn't understand my message. It would be easier to agree that yes, the young umpire did err. I would not go any further than that.

So you had a dumb ump, possibly two. It would have been easier to educate both umpires. Remember your team's objective to legally score that run. As you continue to suggest, this would have been impossible for you to do in front of your players, fans and the other team. Incredible that you would say all this again. But knowing that, telling little Johnny not to stop until he reached the next base safely would not be very hard at all.

I got tired of the comments a long time ago as well.

I don't see the irony at all. JM may have been a coach but it sounds like he's now a solid umpire.

Again, wow!

Seriously, SAump? You take that attitude onto the field and think that you can officiate with integrity. Keep telling yourself that!

You need a new moniker. You have long stopped lurking.

But, let's talk integrity. What do you think about a coach who punished young players for telling the truth?

What should parents think about that?
