After an umpiring meeting last night 3 of us who know our rules pretty well were quizzing each other, using scenarios that had happened in our past. We came across 2 scenarios where we could not agree on the proper enforcement, even after looking in the book. Here's the second one:

Mens Slow-pitch
Unscrupulous coach of the home team, down 4 to a bad team in the 7th inning, despite being undefeated, decides to cheat. Defense's coach is pitching.

Crappy batter B7 is due (B8 and B9 are crappy too - coach fears a 3-up 3-down)

Slugger B3 is sent to the plate, and homers. Defense says nothing.

Slugger B4 then bats and doubles. B5 singles, B4 to third.

Slugger B3 sent to the plate again. Again, defense says nothing. B3 homers, tying the game

B4 pops out, B5 singles. B6 strikes out.

Slugger B3 is sent to the plate again. Defensive pitcher says "Oh come on!", and prepares to pitch.

Question: At any point in this do you, as BU or PU say or do anything to prevent what has already transpired (i.e. did umpire screw up at any point already).

Question 2: When defensive pitcher says "Oh, Come on!", do you take that as a BOO appeal, or ask him to clarify, or do anything at all?

Question 3: At what point, if any, do you eject the coach?

Note - this is not TWP. This actually happened to ME at the age of 20, when I was a player and did not DARE contradict this Bobby-Knight-wannabe coach. I was B5.
