Contrary to what you might think, it's not your responsibility to go find a rule every time a coach disagrees with you, and present it to him upon the next meeting. If he wants to verify that he's right (he's not), then it's on him to attempt to do so. Let it go.

Yup. If a coach needs to learn a rule, there are three choices:
1) Look it up
2) Look it up
3) Look it up
Then, if s/he does all three, the next options are:
1) Ask an umpire
2) Learn to read my mind (where my rulebooks are)
3) Keep being wrong

While you're talking with this moron, I mean coach, ask him what he thinks the requirements are for the ball to be put in play.

WOW! With the various posts quoting OBR and talking about "taking the mound," I had to double check to make sure I was in the SOFTBALL forum!
