"Last night he was okay to the extent that we could see visibly, and by that I mean it wasn’t the type of case where we show up and someone has broken bone, thank god, or bleeding or a black eye, something that required medical attention," Westwood Police Chief Jeffrey Silva said. “It was an unconsented to touching, and therefore it's an assault and battery."
Coach, don’t touch me. I want to stay and argue with the umpire. Coach you touched me. Someone call the cops. <sarcasm
In retrospect the coach should have left the kid at the plate to make an ass of himself and get suspended by the MIAA. It’s what coaches will do in the future. It’s not fair to the umpires. But what coach wants to get arrested and possibly banned from coaching.
Parents wonder where the good coaches have gone. They’re instructing at academies instead of risking getting arrested coaching brats. And the pay is better. It has to be at least minimum wage.,
