When we see parents on other sites complaining about this stuff - much of it is for good reason. I truely believe a small portion of us go out there looking to "get em" - and that is unfortunate.

And after hearing about how you made those girls cry I thought you had no heart.

Apparently this guy skipped class the day they talked about common sense and fair play at umpire school. As for the coach, my partner would be doing the explaining unless it was someone I really liked. But I can't think of any umpires I've enjoyed working with who would pull this stunt, so...the coach is all yours, pard!
