Also, just a last note.on this and that'll be all for me.on the softball zone I think.
1. There is a difference in the two situations. I was not coaching a game, I was a p.o'd parent. It happens with parents sometimes. I didn't get a game called against my team, in fact the game had been over for almost 25 minutes. Do I regret my reactions? Certainly, but it's definitely past tense, we seem to be able to get along g fine now and I definitely do nothold any grudges at all.
2. At no time did I call anyone out, no coach name, no team names, no venue locations.
3. If you are coaching young kids I believe you should be held to a higher standard of composure, attitude and good sportsmanship. You're supposed to be teaching the kids about the game, how to play, how to hold emotions in check...one of the Golden rules my DD'S pitching coach has driven home with her, and it's a wonderful thing to see in action. If you know you have a history with that ump, which I agree is not the prime situation but it happens, I would expect that you would try to be on best behavior, because you know you would 't win and argument with an umpire, and is there ever any call that isn't questionable by one side or the other?
That being said, it was nice to have been a part of the forum for a while.
good luck to you all this upcoming season, and most of all have some fun with it!
