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.

To me it sounds like you warned him twice.

I agree warn em.. they WILL mumble a final thing, let them have the last word and usually it will stop. You dont need to have the last word, you are the last word.

Agree, which is why I don't give "one more word..." ultimatums. (or is it ultimata? )

the problem was that the original call was not mine, i did'nt want it too look like my partner needed defending, i knew he could'nt hear him so i needed him to address me, that's why i used the "baiting" word. the first enough was for my partner, still had my mask on, just turned my head and said "that's enough". now once he responded too me, i had him "hooked", it was now up to him what happens next, he NEW he was about to leave, he stopped. like i said, this is the only time i thought someone could say i was baiting a coach, i was curious about what others thought though, i did make the point i was trying to make, and he did figure it out.
