I can’t think of a reason off hand, that warrants threatening an official.



I cant either...I've actually never seen anyone physically threaten an official or umpire


I have seen plenty of officials and umpires receive tongue lashings but nothing that would warrant someone getting arrested.

As someone in the coaching community for a quarter century, I have seen some parents cross the line. In short, parents, seeming to live vicariously through their children, can display behaviors that are totally out of character with their daily demeanor. There is a shortage of referees and officials natiowide. The behavior of the parents...and their children, are a major reason why imho. Should there have been legislation...I don't know. However, the issue of incredibly poor behavior does exist in my experience.
