I agree. Personally...I would've dumped this coach.

Yeah, I could have dumped him. I didnt want to start off the season with having to explain an ejection plus I'm trying to work on that for a few years now. I'm in A - coach in the dugout and suddenly hes gone? I already know the look I would get trying to explain it, hell I kind of got it just explaining away the coaches lie that he was talking about his own wife when I got ticked. He didnt pull any more crap the rest of the game. My partner was aware he was gone if I heard anymore from him and there would have been no hesitation or 2nd warning. I think if he had breathed the wrong way my partner would have tossed him. His ice was very thin from then on.
I'm gonna bring it up at the board meeting that we need to make sure our umpires, especially our new ones, are not taking abuse from this organization. Several of the coaches (btw a few of the coaches some of you know because they post on ezteamz and heybucket but not this one as far as I know) can be a little on the rough side and we need to make sure that the support is there when these coaches are handled.

It's not just ejections. IP's, OBS, INT, etc. Calls where they are going to get flack from someone that they don't make because it might be 'easier' to not make them. It is a big problem here.

My association is discussing to put in a mentoring program next year. A mentor will have at least 5 years and board approved. The mentor will receive 1/3rd of the game fee. The mentor will evaluate and work with the new umpire for at least four games. The mentor will discuss items that need improvement during, in-between and after the final game.
My association has 20 new umpires. We have completed 5 weeks of ball. 4 new umpires have been asked never to come back to certain leagues due to attitude, game management, and skills. |

Sometimes you have to remember you are an association. Yes, the President typically does a lot of work behind the Scenes, and should be thanked. However, sometimes they think their word is god and forget that the association has by-laws. Have the player rep (member-at-large) propose it to the group and vote on putting a program together.

It was just this year that our UIC's idea of having just 3 hours of clinic time for veterans with over 3 years of experience as opposed to the full 6 hours that we had been subjected to actually enacted, only because I had emailed the president myself. I went at it not from the perspective as an umpire, but as an educator, and lo and behold, my UIC was practically thanking as if I was the only one who could put the president over the hump on this. Maybe I need to yak more with the UIC and the president, and get my nose a little brown, and just maybe, just maybe the mentoring thing will fly. |

first off, i never really want too bait any coach, that said, i had the plate, high school game, we have R1, going on pitch, F2 throws the ball into center field. R1 thinks about third, F8 throws behind her, bang bang play. BU comes up with a very strong safe, he was in great position, saw it, called it. D coach goes running out, says his peace and heads back to the dugout. i put the ball back in play and this guy keeps going on and on about that play, now i KNOW he is talking too his ***. coach and i also KNOW he wants me too hear it, comes back with the i can talk to my ***. coach however i want. i tell him enough, he mumbles some more, now i warn him, he stops. now the fun part, after the inning i call my partner over, stand on the first base line and in front of his dugout. i tell BU he was in great position, good call, then say, you believe this guy, from 120 feet he can see that play better than you. here he comes, he's ranting about me talking about him, i looked straight at him, said, coach just talking too my partner here, he stops, thinks for a moment, says point made, went quietly back in his hole, and yes, i would have dumped him.
