Coaching and Youth Sports

so they replay the game or is it a forfeit?

 

Number of pitches would be easy to count on game film. Would be a forfeit if rules broken I assume.

 

And they have it. And TSSAA won't do anything about it.

 

C, none of the above.

 

wat?

 

You read that correctly.

 

I imagine that's going over well

 

It's standard TSSAA. "Both coaches signed the form saying he threw 105 pitches."

You really think the losing coach was thinking about that when he signed it?

 

TSSAA, making the NCAA look competent.

 

yeah it's hardly the first thing you are concerned about after a game

 

would love to know what the game situation was. . . but obviously completely out of line.

 

Why tf was he trying to get the kid to run in the first place?

 

i can think of some situations that can happen in little league games
1. he had hit through the order and the kid getting out didn't matter so might as well try for a fielding error and extra run
2. he wanted the kid to get out so he had the top of the order for the next inning (stupid but people do do this)
3. he knew the batter was an automatic out and it was the end of the game and he thought going home was the higher probability play

 

yeah my son wouldn’t play for that dude and we would have a problem if I saw that and wasn’t a parent. He doesn’t need to be coaching kids, treating tball like a roid head football coach.

 

…and he may have a nervous kid, no idea why, at 3rd or one who has developmental issues and is overwhelmed at the situation and being yelled at.

 

yeah it's not an effective way to make a nervous kid do what you want. that being said i wouldnt' want video on me when a kid is holding the ball in the outfield and runners are running and i'm screaming "throw the ball!!!" i'm not at that level of screaming though.

 

I've seen 8u tournaments better ran the state softball tournament. What a joke.

 

Hahaha, I'm pretty loud with a lot of the kids I coach. I try to always yell great job as loud as I yell "hurry up" though.

I flipped my shit on an umpire last Saturday, it's the first time I've done that.

Runner on first, 2nd baseman made a damn good diving stop behind 2nd base, bobbled the ball but slapped the bag with his glove, while the ball was in there. He took the ball out and held it up to show he stopped it.

Ump said safe, I came from the outfield yelling. It was his 3rd wrong call with 2 outs that game.

 

wrong calls i can live with. just don't make the game about yourself. i just had a guy who called something that should never have been called and it was clearly a "let me show you i know the rules" and "i want all eyes on me" situation. that was in my one kid's championship game. he's umpiring the game tonight in my other kid's championship game. if he does that same shit again i'm going to lose my mind

 

I’m sure we’ve all had moments but not like that 3B coach on the video. His yelling didn’t do anything except make the kid freeze and make himself look like a fool
