So here is the situation.
We were playing a 10u "C" USSSA tournament.
Batter gets walked, then proceeds to steal 2nd base. I call time and tell the home plate ump that is not allowed. He says that he doesn't umpire 10u and isn't sure, I need to show him in writing. Well, I cant find it quick enough to get the play reversed, so he says we will play on and he will ask head ump after game.
During our team meeting after the game (which we lost 2-1, play above did not have effect on game though) one of my players tells me that she heard the field ump tell the first base coach "That coach isn't a coach, he's a complainer"
referring to me.
So, I go talk to the director of the tournament. Told him about the confusion on the rule, which he tells me I was correct on. He also told me that he corrected the umps. I then tell him what my player heard and he said he will address it. I told him that I could care less about the guys personal view of me, but he should not be saying stuff like that were my players can hear.
Start next game, guess who is our plate ump? Guess who is calling a strike at my players eyes, but when we are pitching anything right under the arm pits is a ball?
