NC - Too many (mostly younger) umpires get flustered when a coach says that 7-letter word "protest." That's why it is important ALL umpires know what can - and cannot - be protested.
I had a coach a couple years ago try to protest a game (ASA SP)on a "foul tip." He thought the batter should have been called "out" (the ft was only her 2nd strike). I told him he could not protest a game on a judgment call. You could almost see the steam coming out of his ears. I ended up ejecting him for a personal attack directed at me. Come to find out, he was President of the league.
Good "role model," huh?
