16U A .. ASA.

LOL The same thing happen to me in a game about three years ago. The coach got so heated he was begging me to ask the other umpire if she had seen where the feet were located when his player touched the foul ball. He got so upset that he wanted to protest the game and was not going to leave the field. Worse call he had ever seen and I was taking the game away from the kids.
Needless to say he called everyone he could think of after the game- found out he was wrong- and (thank goodness) still will not even say a word to me because "I" threw him out.
And he was the one that was wrong and acted like a clown. But it is my fault.
Oh well, the joys of umpiring.
