I know that you are new, but you might as well work on bringing your strike zone up now. If you are meaning that the top of the ball is two inches below the knee, that it too low. Save yourself some grief by bringing it up. As a rul, I try to keep the bottom of the ball at the top of the knee.

How do you tell a coach not to deliberately rile up his fans?
Should I tell my story to the visiting team's AD?
Should I tell my story to my association?
Should I just let it go and try to learn something from it?

1. You don't. What you can do is tell them the rule to let them know that you know it. (You did that part already). However, there are coaches that are rules gurus, and there are coaches who don't even own a rule book. That's just the way it is.

2. Don't mess with fans. That's the site administrator's job.

3. Restrict him to the dugout.

4. I see no reason to.

5. Yes.

6. Steve's recommendation here is a very good one. This should be a learning experience for you.
