The coach comes all unglued that we should not be counting warm up pitches unless we count both teams. HP and coach exchange pleasantries and coach gets a warning to knock it off.

I have never seen such a conflict over something so petty.
Simple response to coach...."I AM counting warm up pitches for both teams"

If worth a response at all, analogous to "call it both ways".
