The chances of this happening in a college game are extremely small. There's an autoimatic suspension in the rules for the coach if he pulls his team.

When I was in school, a coach pulled his team after one of his players was tossed for telling the BU, "You don't know anything." His team was packing up to leave, and we were razzing them pretty good, wishing them a pleasant trip home, etc. But then somebody must have intervened, or maybe the coach simply changed his mind, because they then unpacked and the game continued.

I remember that the coach was ragging on both umps right from the beginning, moaning about obvious calls, claiming on anything close that he was being robbed. I also remember that he looked pretty young, so I suspected he was somehow a last-minute replacement for the real coach.

My junior year in college, the regular Boston College coach was sick and sent an assistant. The guy couldn't handle the game or his team, and the afternoon ended in a brawl.

PS. I don't do college baseball (I'm not in the clique), but I've done plenty of college softball, and I've never had even the slightest incident with player or coach or spectator.

If he comes ranting out of the dugout toss him. After that he is not allowed to do any coaching, so if he pulls his team from the field forfeit the game and go home.

Yes, that would be my reaction. If he comes out of the dugout yelling and screaming, he's gone. I had a HS coach do the pull the team thing, he was trailing 23-0 at the time.

It's a bright coaching move: draw more attention to how horsesh!t you and your team are.

Yes and the coach was an ex major league player!! I ran him and he said, "Do you know who I am", and I said, "ya, the guy walkin to the bus!!"...

I don't know what you mean when you said "I have the stick" ???????????
Looking in the hole I assume is the dug out.

In the area I umpire, you would not be taken in a positive light using that termonology. We are rather loose bunch but thats just the way it is around here, like it or not.
