Marty Foster's call at 3rd base today

[Kevin Finnerty]

I coached plenty of travel ball, league ball, scout ball and I've assisted in JUCO ball, and I have never gone out and argued with an umpire, and if I ever did have a grievance, it was part of a sideline conversation later in the game. And that includes years ago before I became an umpire.

In fact, when an umpire, who currently coaches, comes out and "argues" or "discusses" a call, respect for his status as an umpire is diminished in the eyes of the umpire. I think Rich articulated that pretty well.
