Received Coaches Complain

[mo99]

It is really ashame that jerks like that are even allowed to coach little girls 12U.He should concentrate solely on teaching the girls how to play the game and have fun.On what grounds is he filing the protest,since judgement calls can not be protested,only rules violations
1.You may warn a coach that he/she may not argue balls and strikes.Toss them if they continue.(Umpire Judgement)

2.Appeal on a missed base.(Umpire Judgement)

3.Not a batted ball hitting an umpire before a fielder has a play.In this case,you are part of the playing field.Play on.

4.Batter is out for stepping on home plate prior to hitting the ball.(Umpire Judgement)

Hopefully your UIC wont give into this #$*hole,and continues to schedule you his games.Someone needs to give this jerk a rule book and also explain that only applied rules are grounds for protest,not judgement calls.You dont happen to umpire in SouthEast PA do you? I would love to do the plate in one of this clowns games.It is such a shame for the young ladies he is "coaching."
