Worst Call Ever

“Well she’s not out.”
“Yes coach she is out, let’s play.” I wait just a fraction of a second and turn smartly (yes that Marine training never leaves) to return to my starting position.
Here it comes … wait for it …the punch line to my story…
“That’s just the worst call I ever saw.”

Did you eject the coach at this point? If you didn't, I applaud your patience! I would have tossed her as soon as he made the remark I've highlighted in red. That would have been enough to me that he was showing me up.

For me, it would've been at this point. Once I say, "let's play," it's done. If the coach or player continues to challenge me after this, I usually interpret this as an attempt to show me up, but we all have our own different limits.

"Coach, goodbye."
