There really isnt anything more exhilarating. Lucky I never got hurt. Ran with some BAD MFers. |

The only mistake that I think tooge made was escalating the situation immediately. The guy was obviously being an asshole and deserved to have this fact spelled out for him. Beginning with "if you'd called me that, I'd be punching your teeth in", leaves no room for anything but a violent encounter. Tooge should have followed the guy to the parking lot and attempted to explain to him that his behavior was unacceptable and will not be tolerated in the future. If the guy still wants to act like Billy Badass and is unwilling to listen to reason, then you give him a beat down in the parking lot.
Then after the beat down you remove the T-tops from your TransAm and blast Whitesnake from the stereo as you drive away. That way the kids still think you're cool. |

I always wrapped with, "shut up or make the kids smile. If you can't do that then leave." I hate people sometimes. |

Like I said, I umped for damn near a decade. I've started coaching again recently and I used to help coach my youngest brother's teams when I was younger too. There are several ways to prevent that shit, and as someone else mentioned you should have left off the punch you in the teeth remark. Also, now that I coach, at the first practice I make a big speech that we are out there for the kids and I will not tolerate berating the kids, other team, or officials. Once the expectation is set, it goes a long way with the other parents policing each other's behavior. Parents acting like jackasses at little league games is a huge pet peeve of mine. I'm pretty good at shaming those people into stopping that behavior since I've had to deal with it so much. I've had coaches try to fight me when I umped, and I've made them look so dumb that they later come up and apologized. And 10U is usually the worst age group for that shit. I hated umping for that age group. All the parents think their kids are way better than they are. A lot of them don't know the game at all so it makes it even worse. |

Exactly. The goal is to diffuse the situation and make the environment safe, fun, and a great experience for the kids. Not to swing dicks and act like it is a scene from Road House.
