No one has answered the question. How, as a coach can I deal with this? The PU, by not enforcing the rule affected the game. To be blunt, I had the game on video, and was sorely tempted to send it to the association for review, but I would not want someone to do this to me, so I held off. This was as aggravating a situation as I have seen as a coach, and I am still wondering if there was a way to get the rule enforced without getting the thumb.

Contact the Instructional Chairman for the Umpires' Association that serves your area, and tell him the situation. Tell him you have the game on tape, and would be happy to review it with him. Also, be sure to tell him about the PU's comments. That's totally unprofessional.

I can understand your frustration. I share it, because umpires(?) like that give the rest a bad name. When I had the misfortune to work with someone like that, I reported it to the IC myself.
