Bunt Attempt

Had this same situation last year in a High School Game. Batter got drilled trying to get out of the way. Head Coach comes out and argues that he didn't pull the bat back. I told him in my judgement he didn't offer at the pitch and was awarded 1st base. Coach said that I didn't know the rules blah, blah, blah. Told him I was sure of the rule and he must be confused because his daughters play softball. Even though I was right and the coach was wrong I am no longer allowed to umpire at his school because, according to him, I don't know the rules and I am out to get him.

Look at the bright side - there are plenty of other games for you to work where you'll never see him....maybe even the State Finals!

I dunno about you, but it sounds to me like you're in a win/win situation....

My association would tell the coach he has zero influence on which umpires get assigned to his games.
