This occurred in Massachusetts a few years ago at a powerhouse program …
A kid whiffed. He didn’t like the call. He started giving the umpire an earful. Rather than tossing the kid the umpire told the coach to come get his player.
The kid wouldn't leave the plate. The coach grabbed him by the back of his jersey by the neck and pulled him back to the dugout.
One of the player’s parents called the police and had the coach arrested for assault. The coach was suspended for the season by the school and had to go through anger management and confrontation resolution training.
What should have occurred is the parents being shunned by the other parents. Someone on this board (don’t know if they still post) was at the game. They said the kid was 100% wrong.
I’ve been around parents of this school at football games. Some of them act very arrogant and privileged. I’ve sat near them at Xavarian-Everest football games. Everett ran the Patriots (Brady) offense and were fun to watch. Everett is very blue collar with a lot of black kids on the team. They were always in the hunt if not winning the large classification championship. They send players to P5’s. I heard a lot of (to be polite) condescending comments directed at Everett by Xavarian parents. Xavarian is an expensive private Catholic in a wealthy area.
