Don't have a huge problem? Sounds like you have zero problem no-look whackin' coaches.

He was the only guy with a clipboard. A clipboard that falls out of the hands doesn't echo like that. That was a no-doubter. Should I have looked first? That's an honest question.

Nah, you handled it well when you finally decided to give him a T. Just found it funny how you worded it. I prefer how quickly you did it instead of waiting for a partner to wack him when it's right next to you.

Yeah, I realize now that I should have done it sooner and let the partner handle the seatbelt part. That's why I'm here, I appreciate the advice.

I don't need to look at a coach to know what he said or did.

Nope. I had a clipboard slammer one of my first years working (probably late 1980s). The metal clip broke off and slid across the floor in front of me. Whack. Did I see him slam the clipboard? Nope. Did I think twice about the technical foul? Nope.

I once ejected a baserunner from a baseball game in Europe for saying some words to me in a language I didn't understand. Got that one right, too.
