Are you saying you're ok with what the umpire in the OP did? "Fun" league or not, but I have a hard time seeing how this is justified at all. If the umpire was bothered enough to head into the other team's dugout, then he should of just warned or started ejecting people IMO.

Yes, I'm OK with it. Although I do not work baseball or softball (although I did work some kids ball when I was a teenager a few centuries ago), I don't see what he did as any different than when I tell a coach: "Look coach, let's trade places. You come out here on the court and call the game and I'll sit on the bench and act like a jacka$$".

I agree. They are essentially the same. And without being overly judgmental, I would personally never do either one.

I think there's a huge difference between quietly telling a coach you've had enough (however you choose to do so), and letting the whole park know what's going on.

Agree 114%.

Our association has a Code of Conduct that very explicitly states that officials should never engage in these wise-azz exchanges with anyone, no matter the level being played or the circumstances involved. It's quite simply a matter of professionalism. We expect a helluva lot more from our officials than we do from the coaches, players and fans.

If you have a problem with someone, deal with it calmly and professionally.

I would say there's a vast difference between the two. One shows up the coach and makes a spectacle while the other can be done quickly and silently (and better worded) without anybody knowing the better. It's never okay for a player or coach to show us up, but I think we can't lower ourselves to that level.
