I was embarrassed for him!

Just out of curiosity, how can an infielder obstruct a runner who had already been putout?

Obviously they can't, they can only interfere with them!

No but really...I don't think he even thought out what he was thinking. He was seeing the play through extremely biased eyes. My partner and I barely made it off the field without busting out and laughing at the blatant show of a lack of rules knowledge that he displayed.

As for working with him, I never do anyway. Our association uses a rating system that makes us eligible to call certain levels of play. He basically calls 1A and 2A schools and lots of JV play. I mostly call 4 and 5A stuff, so I won't be seeing him unless I have to fill in somewhere.

Yeah Paparada, I, single handedly cost them the game with that one call. That was the implication I got, even though his girls committed a dozen or more errors and were simply outplayed by the other team. Why can't they see the ridiculousness of this? I don't know. Sometimes a coach just can't see the play through the fog!
