Next inning, same thing. I encourage my players to call time, regroup and hit. PU states to my players that if they continue to call time he will call them for delay. When asked for explanation (politely, and between innings) he defends his actions toward my players, and states that it is not his job to time the pitcher. BU (a younger, very polite guy) states that he cannot do anything.

Same thing happened to my team with an area rival. Except that the pitcher was throwing the ball as soon as she got it(Yep, a girl and she could throw 75. We all had a lot of respect for her. She was a good player. She's playing softball for the HS team now and doing great). Anyway, she was killing us. I instructed the batters to call time. And it threw her timing off. The ump warned me, so I told them not to call time unless they were down on the pitch count. We ended up winning the game by one run.
