Broke my NCAA cherry tonight

[Andy]

Here is the story of one of my buddies college "evaluation" tryout.

Buddy is BU - 2 umpires
Buddy calls BR out at first on a banger - here comes the offensive coach (known for trying to play head games and intimidate umpires)

Coach (stomping across field): Blue - I need to talk to you!
Buddy waits for coach to get to him and before coach can say anything..

Buddy: Coach, I know I'm the newbie and you are out here to see what I will take and how I will react to you, so just say what you're going to say so we can get on with the game.

Coach (a bit flabbergasted): Uh, OK.....what did you have on that call?
Buddy: I had an out
Coach: You're not going to change that call?
Buddy: Nope
Coach: What's your name?
Buddy: (states his name), sir.
Coach: I like you, (name)! - turns and goes back to his dugout.

My buddy has not had any issues with this coach since!
