My point is that you might want to find a different method to handle it.

Just a reminder, you are not talking to your high school buddies here. Some of us have been around a long time and have seen situations that you may not incur in a lifetime. Many of us also have experience at levels much higher than you will see if there isn't some type of adjustment to your game. Calm down, listen to the responses. We are not just pulling them out of our collective asses, we have an idea of what we speak. |
Roger - first, you asked, so don't get pissed off that we answered. If you just wanted confirmation that you're a big man for ejecting him, go talk to your buddies, not us.
Working alone in the heat sucks, but we've all been there. And nearly everyone here has their own particular line that coaches shall not cross. However, we need to be cognizant that our fuses may be shorter in those situations, and make a conscious effort to diffuse things when possible. Second - instead of looking down, if you were looking up as you returned to the plate, you could easily have "reminded" the coach not to come onto the field without calling time, and defused this early (if he kept coming at you after that, I'm right there with ya - buh-bye, coach). And especially since it doesn't sound like you called time on your own, you should be heads-up and not looking at anything but the field of play until you DO call time. |
By the way,i was NOT gloating! think whatever you want,I damn sure wont bother you again!

Reminds me of Sam or some others on another board.
Maybe he was quick on the trigger with that temper. |
Glen,
Even Sam is not that hot headed. Heck, Mike and others tick me off somtetimes too, but I still enjoy a good argument. I will even concede when the logic is overwhelming. This is the second time Roger has threatened to take his ball and go home. I say let him. We'll all pass the hat and buy ourselves a new ball. Kevin Check out his first reply on the "Preventive Officiating" post. It doesn't jibe with his attitude here.

Yes, that should have read:
Being a 2nd year ump I'm completely uninterested in the responses to this post! I will not appreciate all your views unless they agree 100% with mine. I have no interest in the sharing of knowledge,etc, unless such knowledge comes from me directly. Listen to my great story to hear what a big man I am. |
Boy, am I glad that is over! The exclamation point key on Roger's keyboard must be worn out!
A little 'right back at ya' advice, Roger. Don't quit YOUR day job. It doesn't appear like you'll be going very far in the officiating game. |
Trolls!! When did the Trolls come back?
|
Kinda reminds you of "BBALLCOACH", doesn't it?
|
You know, actually I think that it is Mike Rowe playing
the part of his favorite poster, BDB. All the fuss came after he, Mike, posted his reply. http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/Gif/couch.gif |

Absence...
they say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but in Roger's case, I'll make an exception.
hey...maybe it IS Mike impersonating someone else... |
Nope, can't be me 'cause I'm not very good at impersonating anyone. After all, I'm not from Texas!!!!
JUST KIDDING!!!!!! ;) |
Mike,
We knew it wasn't you because we stopped importing yankees, but we could see about a temporary work visa. [Edited by DNTXUM P on Jan 6th, 2005 at 12:15 AM] |
