Coach: "the 1st baseman needs to be ejected right now".
Me: "what the heck for"? Coach: "he's using chew" Me: "copy that" then turn and go back to my position Don't get me wrong; if I see it, I'll deal with it as required. But I don't particularly care for coaches who "coach" umpires. When they tell me things like, "Watch the batter's feet, Blue!" and "Check to make sure the pitcher comes set, Blue," it gives me the impression that they think I can't do my job out there.

When I was first starting out in basketball, I worked a game with a very seasoned referee. A coach was on me constantly to watch for 3-second violations. My partner told me to find one on his team first.

Coach: "the 1st baseman needs to be ejected right now".
Me: "I'll umpire. You coach."
