THIS WHY SOME PARENTS (I include myself) SHOULD GO STAND AND CONGREGATE ALONG THE OUTFIELD FENCE. WE SIMPLY CAN NOT CONTROL OURSELVES AND WE KNOW IT SO DON'T PUT YOURSELF IN THAT SITUATION!!!!!
Were you right, maybe or maybe not, maybe the umpire judged it was not 5 ft but 3 ft that is a judgement call you don't get to make, but there is just no reason to act like that and yes I speak from experience so I'm not pulling out some holier than thou card.
...and to the coach why are you running from third on an infield hit up 18-0, all runner should be advancing on base hits only unless you are trying to run up the score.
Finally unless approached and specially asked never talk to an umpire after a game after you have had an altercation with him, it can go sideways really fast and is just not worth it, unless it is to apologize...and yes that may mean apologizing even if you are 100% right, you simply say "sorry I was out of line, regardless of what the rule is I should not have talked to you like that."
