Canada/US difference

[tibear]

Thought the US guys would find this amusing.

Was talking with a coach of a Canadian Midget team (16-18 year old) that went down to the US for a tournament and I asked how it went. He said that they learned real quick about some of the differences between Canadian and US rules.

After a controversial call, the third base coach(not the manager) walked over to the base umpire and was about say something when he was ejected from the game. The coach asked why he was ejected and the base umpire ignored him, the manager then when out to find out what the problem was and was told that only the manager could speak to the umpires.

At that point they knew they weren't in Canada any more and he said the coaches (and the manager) were too afraid to speak to the umpires again!

NOTE: I can't seem to reply to this thread.....have been trying for the past 24 hours! I don't know the whole story just what one of the assistants told me about the incident. He simply said that they were unfamiliar about the FED rules regarding speaking to umpires but they sure learned quick when other assistant tried to question a call.
