Would you ask for help?

And my response at the end of the season was "I quit." Since he will be there a long time, I guess I'll just have to be happy working all the HS baseball I could ever possibly want. None of which is more than an hour from home, either.

This is one of the main reasons I didn't jump ship in the early 90s when I had a chance to work college ball. My association lost the college games to an upstart association that used "collegiate" in their title. Our association prohibited dual-membership. You had to either stay with it, or burn your bridge with any HS ball. My assignor was (and still is) an umpire's umpire, who wouldn't take any crap off coaches, and in cases like yours would have backed you all the way. I did not want to go work for anyone else, because this guy always came to my defense with the area HS coaches.
