I can appreciate that, but there is other evidence as well:

1. The coach wasn't dumped.
2. The coach blamed his fielder (and not the umpire) for the runs
3. The explanation the coach asked for was entirely reasonable.
4. The explanation he received was not, but he didn't persist.

I know a great many coaches who would have reacted very differently.
