Oh what a night

Two rules you should always follow:

1. In these rec league games do not put up with the vocal
coach. As soon as he starts chipping stop the game and
tell him in no uncertain terms these games are for the kids
to enjoy and you will not tolerate his yapping. Period.
This goes double for 7-8 yr old games. No need for you
to put up with it.

2. Never acknowledge fans. Let them b1tch and moan all they
want, don't explain, justify or discuss your calls or
noncalls with them. I know at rec games there's often
no place for you to "hide" after a game. If a fan approcahes
you and speaks to you respectfully after a game
you might answer questions courteously, but once they
start repeating themselves end the discussion. If they
want to argue just don't participate. Walk away. Nothing
good ever comes of these confrontations.

You should go to whoever is responsible for running this
league and file a report on this coach's behavior.
As you probably know dad-coaches are a dime a dozen but
good refs are difficult to find and retain in these
leagues. This coach should be booted from the league
and banned for life, IMO.
