More stupid coach quotes

Working 12u tournament today. Pitcher is obviously leaping, I have called her on it and explained it to coach. He has made no attempt to correct her. In 2nd inning after having called her for at least 20 illegal pitches to this point, her comes coach.

"I am not going to allow you to call my pitcher for illegal pitches all day!"

I assume he then provide the PU with a line-up change

Nope, then he threatened to go get the TD. I told him to please do so and while he was at it to also get the UIC. Both did come to field, both took video and left without saying a word. He never did change pitchers, he had her pitch the entire game.

He also tried to protest the game, saying I had quoted him a non existent rule. He wanted me to call the other teams pitcher illegal because her foot was not in contact with the pitching plate when the ball was released. I told him no rule required the foot to be in contact with the plate at release, and as long as contact was maintained with the ground the foot could drag away from the pitching plate.

Once upon a time, while working for Mike, I had a coach who stated that he was going to talk with the uic about me. So, I sent him.
