Not sure of the rule set...14U ASA tourney...

This ump was a trip. He was very much "I'm in control" and "I will not be argued with or questioned". He threw the coach out from the team in the field when the coach questioned the call. The coach was not yelling/screaming or acting crazy. Very much just asking for clarification as to why the runners advanced and why the pitch was ruled illegal. He was not asked to sit down, just immediately thrown out. First game of the day so unless they had history on a different day I thought that was a little over the top.

This happened to us a few weeks ago. HC just asked a question and the umpire flipped out. He hadn't been yelling or being a jerk on any level. Just trying to get clarification on something. This past weekend we had the same guy all day long and he was totally fine. I guess he was having a bad day or something. Some of these guys...I know, the parents and coaches acting like fools are running off umpires. But man, the ones staying are getting worse and worse. I guess that's what we get for not behaving.
