I have been an AC for my DDs 14U team this year. So far it has been pretty good but I ran into a situation where I seem to have run a bit afoul of the co-HCs and my DD. In fact, she called me "rude". I would like some others opinions on the situation. Here's what happened:
We were out of town for a tournament and won our first two pool games, with my DD pitching, 6-3 and 3-0. We noticed that even if we won our third pool game we would probably lose the tie breaker so we pitched our number two and got blown out. It appears that some of the girls must have partied pretty late because before the first bracket play game the next morning most of the girls were out of it. The girls were very lackadaisical about getting warmed-up and prepared for the game and I was pushing them a bit to get ready. One of the HCs seemed to suggest that I mellow out a bit. Long story short, they didn't get ready.
So the game starts and the first 6 hitters either reach on a solid hit or error. So I go out and talk to the infield and ask, "Are you guys awake out here?" The second baseman says, "Yes". I reply, "It doesn't look like it! Start making the plays and get some oomph on that FB". Anyway, this is what my DD called me rude about. And this talk certainly did not help because we ended up losing 15-1 to the team that we had previously beat 3-0.
Was I out of line?
