We were at this tournament this weekend and played this team twice (1 pool and 1 bracket). The Ump assaulted was actually scheduled to be in the field for our bracket game against them Sunday morning, but was switched to another game. BTW, we knocked them out of the tournament in that game.
It's sad that this happens. It's 12U softball. Rumor Sunday morning was that the coach and his wife followed the ump all the way out to his car and hit him 3 times in the face. It was after they lost 10-1 to probably the best team there.
What I don't get is, how can the org say he will still coach the team? If I was a parent, I would be looking for a new team. No way my kid would play for a coach like that.
