Do the UIC'S really do anything? Does anybody know what to do when things get way out of hand with the umpires besides wanting to beat them?
Example is at the dust bowl never lined fields of Kettering Park we had several things happen in our 14u bracket.
1) I asked the umpire a question about his strike zone ( calmly and quietly ) and he told me that he was a ASA professionalism, yes professionalism, umpire and that it was his call to make then he turns around and tells a guy in the stands that he will meet him in the parking lot if he wants to, not a parent of my players.
2) In another game we had the field ump smelled like marijuana so bad it is a wonder the kids never got a contact buzz running by him. The other Coach and I talked about that after the game.
3) The same ump that wanted to beat us up in the parking lot the night before told me to tell my kids to quit harrassing him, they were in the field and he was behind the plate, still cannot figure that one out.
4) We were ready but M.C. Blaze just finished and the wanna beat up everybody ump was trying to push our start time up and would not give his girls a break, this is last game of the day, no game afterwards. I told the coach to take his time and that if they wanted to start the clock they could. Well, of course he started the clock cause he is a professionalism ASA umpire. I say he is a jacka$$ my self.
Now onto the 18u side
1) The two umpires get into a fight on the field and nobody knows why, nobody
2) next game the field ump calls our girls, not the coaches or parents but the girls white trash. What is that all about? Our girls are white trash but he is so big and sloppy looking that it takes him an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes, go figure.
3) The same white trash calling ump then wants to belly bump our coach on the way off the field after the game, gee, what would most coaches have done at that point?
Well just so everybody knows this was the Ohio Danger 13u and 18u teams this was going on with. I do not believe we are bad teams nor do I think we treat others bad, if we do please let me or Jeff know. I am really just wondering if anything happens to the umpires when stuff like this is brought to the UIC or TD. Do umps need to take drug test or is it okay to give everyone a high on the way to the field. Are umps allowed to push coaches with there bellies, just wondering I guess.
Bill Beckham I think you are a very nice guy but I think you need to re-think where you have your tourneys and where you get your umps from.
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND KETTERING FIELDS TO ANYBODY. DUST BOWL, FIELDS ARE NEVER LINED, NO SHADE ANYWHERE BY FIELDS - NOT EVEN OVER DUGOUTS AND OF COURSE THE WONDERFUL UMPIRING STAFF - THEY ARE PROFESSIONALISM ASA UMPIRES ALRIGHT!!!
I did hear or talk with quite a few coaches that did say they would not be back, I am one of them.
