You must be talking about Rugby? I'm not saying it doesn't happen, seen it myself.. But you make it seem like this is a common thing in competitive softball, which it isn't. A coach can't always be responsible for one kids random action.. but when you have multiple kids repeating these actions, you can guarantee that this influence comes from leadership. It's our job to teach kids being competitive and winning is important, but not at all costs.

Out of curiosity, was there a malicious contact call on the play and was the player ejected?
With the team laughing, it would indicate to me that this might be a case where both coach and offending player are ejected.

In this particular incident the Umpires issued a warning to the coaches and players.
Since this got side tracked.
DD plays 18U, batter can do what they want.
The show bunt, pull back and swing never bothered me.
At younger ages the fake bunt always annoyed me. I have 12 different players playing 3rd base, hard to teach them all to do it right.
