I had no real training in where the line was and how to recognize it when it was crossed and whether I would be "backed up" by my UIC, etc.

Something for clinicians to think about.

Our UIC here was pretty much just the opposite and told us to be pricks our first year and eject a coach if they even looked at us funny.

Any umpire who would let a coach call you a LIAR and not eject them on the spot needs to do something else to occupy the 2 hrs a game usually takes. You can't under any circumstances allow a coach to speak to you or your partner in that matter.
