First off I want to apologize for my lack of writing. It has been crazy around here and my home internet is not wanting to cooperate.
I would like to write about dealing with rowdy coaches and benches. A couple of weeks ago I had a bench that would just not leave me alone. I gave them a clear warning and they finally settled down. At the half inning, the coach came over and told me that they were giving ME a hard time because they felt my partner missed a call at third base. This made absolutely no sense to me. Does it make sense to anyone else or am I alone on this one?
Anyways, as the last point shows, no matter what happens, coaches will always find a way to complain until the cows come home to the umpires. It is our job to not let them under our skin and not stoop down to his level.
Coaches will never stop complaining, we just need to continue to find ways to keep them quiet.

I've made an observation over the past few years...
The louder more obnoxious the coach the less he knows.
Your story seems to shine the light on this theory. If they have a problem with a call your partner made they should have discussed it with your partner immediately when it happened. When that conversation was over, it was over.
Cheers,
