That opposing manager would have had to answer to his team's angry parents if they had lost. "RULES ARE RULES" I was a Little League home plate umpire for 6 years. I once took a legitimate home run away from a player because he didn't touch third base. I saw it, the third base coach saw it, the third baseman saw it, and the manager and coaches saw it. I even went down to third base to see his footprint to see if he maybe nicked the base. No even close. OMG!!! The kid is crying, the parents are screaming. After the game, one of those parents came to me in the umpire's locker room and apologized. One. Just one. A week later the director of umpires asked me what happened, etc. He said none of his other umpires would have called him out and that they "would have caved in to what the parents wanted." Later in the season, he told me I was the best umpire he had and he wanted me to come back for next season. This was the first of 6 seasons there. I loved it.

If you're going to coach LL, please have an umpire/coach/parent meeting pre season!

Continuation of these meetings throughout the season is also beneficial!!

I totally agree, as an umpire of little league baseball for the past 8 years I have come across many coaches/parents that just don’t understand the rules. In fact I was doing a game the other day where a parent was acting as the first base coach for a team (I was umpiring first base) and kept telling the players to take normal leads despite me saying that they are not allowed to take their leads until the pitch crosses the plate. He was just like “what do you mean he’s leading too early?” Luckily he was eventually replaced with someone more competent before it became an issue in the game

While I agree with the idea. A meeting with the umpires/coach/parents wouldn't have made a difference here. Because unless that meeting is 8+ hours long. There is no way that you would discuss this rule. It's such an obscure rule, that with almost 30 years of experience from little league, to professional, I have never seen this play live. The only time that I have ever seen it, is here on KZread a few times.

It is an obscure rule, but it is also not very difficult to explain. When this rule has come up during my time umpiring Little League (I would say about once or twice a year) the coaches involved in those plays were very understanding and I don't recall them ever doing it again, of course Little League is a revolving door of inexperienced coaches and players who don't know the rules very well so it doesn't stop coming up. I see this come up more often when I umpire the younger division (ages 7-9) and I'm pretty laid back and I would give the first offense a warning unless it's really bad. I cut them some slack because often times a ball would be hit to the outfield fence and runners would just freeze and stay on first/third and won't respond to the first/third base coaches yelling in their ears to tell them to keep running. So, I'm not going to call a young kid out who has never played baseball before because he didn't know what to do and the coach gave him a little nudge. Again, if I felt like it made a difference in a potential play on the base paths, then it's a different story. But when I umpire the older division (ages 10-12), I feel the coaches/players should know better and I call the runners out without warning.

the kid that yelled “GOD DAMN” had me dying

That coach handled things well I think any other coach would be heckling at the umpire

"You're frickin cheating" lmao by playing by the rules

It’s hilarious the parents getting mad like that. I’m glad the other coach was trying to calm them down though. Clear call too.

Great learning moment for the kids for several things: you don’t always win and it’s not always fair, stay calm it’s only a game, remember someone is always watching you to make a mistake and call you out on it especially in todays world

Very impressive Coach showing an excellent example of how to handle the situation in front of children. Life isn't always fair! It's up to you to react appropriately!

Coach messed up and told the parents to sit they asses back down. Respect!!!

Are those parents are pathetic. Some of my fondest memories of playing sports came from when my friends and I all played together on our own terms. No league or organization with coaches and parent spectators. Let the kids play without any of the parents and I can almost guarantee they'll have more fun.

The sad part is that the coach didn't really mean to do it. It was one of those things that happened in the moment and he probably realized inside of a second he screwed up. But it's the right call

Parents at home: hey honey I love and stuff ( being calm) In the field: they freaking cheated

Good call blue

We had this happen once. Other team's coach was literally pushing them to run when they'd stop at first. Several times. We brought it up to refs attention and they gave them a warning. It didn't happen again. People would say "hey, that's the way it's supposed to be." BUT - all the coaches were warned before the games that the rule was in tact (the league played it loose the first half of season because the kids were young, but rules were "encouraged"). We ended up tying the game, but if they hadn't been pushed to run, some of those kids wouldn't have made it home. "Let the kids play" is fine. But, what about the kids on the other team who are at a disadvantage when a coach is interfering and the other coaches aren't?

Well the coach messed up. He puts a lot of time in to teach kids the sport and to be a good sport. Thank you coach for owning up to the mistake and giving us all a lesson in sportsmanship.

That's a good call

Had same thing happen to my team great learning situation to all coaches . End of the day just baseball great game but nothing to fight over !!

The coach set a good example for the kids by accepting responsibility for his error. The kids learned more from than that than winning.

When someone said BOOOOOOOOOoOOOO I was laughing so hard

Great job by the head coach keeping his cool and calming everyone. Bad job by home plate umpire. If he initially saw the infraction he should have called it on his own. Instead, he was influenced by the other team's coach and then made the call after the fact.

I umpired little league for 5 years, 7-8 and 9-10 year olds. Hardly had any problems with coaches getting on me. If they questioned anything, I would explain and we moved on.

It's horrible the game ended that way but it was the right call. You can see the coach grabbed the kid by the arm to keep him at first (watch it slowly and you can see the arm being held back). Not only that but the coach actually stepped over the baseline and on to the field to stop him. It was all on the coach since you can see he was telling the runner to go to 2nd then needed him to stop because the ball was coming in fast. If the batter had gone, like he was told, good chance he's either out at 2nd or caught in a rundown.

Coach told him to go 2, before his synapses fired and said “Holy crap! Don’t go 2” at that point he reaches out and grabs, because he knows it’s not just rounding... because he told the runner to go 2. Absolutely the correct call. That guy clearly, should NOT have been a base coach. They probably don’t have a “round it” sign, which should look different than your “go 2” sign.... and when you’re giving the “round it” sign, you should be verbalizing “round it” as well. This guy just told the kid to go 2. He cost his kids a shot. Those kids should’ve had 2 outs, with the tying run at the plate. Base coach blew it.

Thomas Broking no bending. Clear violation. If he doesn’t know it, he doesn’t belong coaching bases. Bottom line. Those kids should’ve had the tying run at the plate with 2 outs. Their base coach blew it big time. First by telling the kid to go 2, then by grabbing him to stop him. Probably just a parent who has no experience coaching bases. If he did, he’d of told the kid to round it, instead of go 2. But since he already sent him, he had to grab him to prevent the final out at 2. This is exactly why the rule is in place... in all leagues at that age level. The rule may be verbalized differently in each book, but this clearly violates all of them. Coach knew what he did. That’s why he quickly pretends like he’s just telling the kid good job, and then later in video lies about it... teaching the kids it’s ok to lie when you’re in a competition. Not verbally, but by his actions.

I like how the umpire didn't even see this and was just told by the other team's coach. So actually the call was wrong since the umpire never saw anything, I hope that helps.

Having officiated high school and small college basketball for 28 years, I can undeniably confirm that most parents are the best examples of what they tell their kids not to be. In this case the kids are only 8 and 9 years old, the game isn’t for the championship of the entire free world, they are just beginning to develop. Everyone makes mistakes, but this is how you teach your kids to deal with adversity? The coach is a class act and understands that the sun will rise tomorrow morning and it’s a new day.
