    You hope he has "that gene", but methinks we has some more learning to do.

    And maybe he should go on a steady diet of humble pie.

    First year head coach trying to find his way, trying to stand up for his guys. But he should have known when to back down though.
    I know the ump warned him several times and within the rules was OK to toss him. But considering the circumstances, I think he should have cut him some slack. But then the CCU official who posted a tweet essentially blaming the umps for their loss made the program look even worse. Nobody wants to lose, but you should win with class and lose with class. Coastal's image took a shot on a smaller scale with the rain delay non-notification regarding Florida, but even took a bigger hit with the way they handled Sunday's game. Too bad, too, because I've always liked and respected their baseball team. Lost some of that over the last couple of weeks.

    Their long time previous HC had their program in a good place.
    Now it’s to do over again. I’m pretty sure that ego and jealousy remain two of the more dominating traits of our society.

    Exactly. The SEC shafts Florida every chance they get and the other schools, for the most part, hate us. Why should we pull for them??!!

    You don't even know what the hell the strike is going to be for both teams after the first inning so bitching about something you have no clue about that early in the game is pretty ignorant. Plus you don't know what was said in the previous game and you don't know what he said during that entire week in Omaha.

    When you have a guy who is a sore loser after they win and lose then you are going to get classified into the ASSHAT category of coaches.

    You could make an argument you coach lost that game for your team yesterday. You lost your cool. It now time to eat your crap. I know when Bear Bryant lost or Steve Spurrier lost a game they were always the first to blame themselves for poor coaching efforts. They always did it. Ego and arrogance will get your ass fired down the road at some point. The minute they start losing games then get the popcorn out because at some point he will get tasered.

    I don’t argue that it was a quick ejection (1st inning) as it was Game 2 of the Championship Series @ the CWS—

    All the more reason to maintain your composure—you are the head coach of your team.

    First year coach or 20 year veteran coach, everybody knows you are not allowed to argue balls and strikes. To lead with “You’ve already missed three”(remember it’s the first inning)—You’re asking for it or saying the rules don’t apply to me. I won’t have to wonder how it’s going to work out for you.

    What was that descriptive used earlier? ASSHAT…
