Tell the league president he is part of the problem.

First off you should have called time out and told the Umpire to shut the other coach up or you would beat his arse.
2nd tell pops , in the stands, his kid is a pussy.
3 rd beat them as bad as you can, chest bump and call the losers

Don't steal or h n r when up ten. No problem with taking 3-0 or stealing often early on to get the lead. Banning you was probably a little too aggressive on their part

you had a ten+ run lead and you are still stealing bases, you are lucky you didn't get one of your players beaned

That being said, picking on a ten year old and exploiting his obvious weaknesses seems a bit excessive, and running up the score in little league is pretty shitty.
this is how I feel. You can do it a few times and be alright. Exploiting the rules when kids are still learning to be athletes is a bit much.
Has nothing to do with pussification. It's a gentlemen's agreement to not run up the score or steal (especially at this age) 10 plus times a game. It's wrong on an ethical level.
They aren't professionals or even middle school/high school kids. You don't exploit obvious weaknesses that kids can't prevent. let them play the game and when they're older learn to take advantage of weaknesses.
I hope the kids you coached realized what you did was wrong. I would imagine the other team was frustrated and these kids will now take the brunt of the jokes/jabs because of you.

Fair enough. Swing to hit the ball in baseball.However, stealing 15/15 bases and continuing to do it after the game is out of hand is equivalent to being up by 40 in the 4th quarter and continuing to run the full court press. You are a dick of a person.
It drives me mad that people don't understand that you can be both a good person AND a competitive winner. If you can't handle showing kids how to be both, perhaps coaching isn't for you.

If it's legal in the written rules, it should be legal to do.
This whole unwritten rule bullshite to shield someone from slight discomfort is pathetic.

I would have told my pitcher to bean even single one of your players.

sorry, it's bush league and he's taking advantage. I wouldn't let my son do it that way because I wouldn't want him to win like that. I'd prefer to coach him up and win the way the game was meant to be won.
If he does this and everyone follows suit, it would ruin the league/game.
Just because it's not a rule to 'not steal' multiple times, doesn't mean you take advantage of it with 10 year olds.
Has nothing to do with preventing 'discomfort.' It's about playing the game the way it was meant to be played. And stealing all game because kids can't make throws is ridiculous. It's baseball. Do it a few times, but not the whole game and not when you're up by ten.
If they're not very good, then coach them up.

The only reason douchebags can exist is because most people aren't douchebags.

I'm positive Ty Cobb and his generation would disagree.

Intentionally throwing at kids in a Little League game is far douchier than stealing with a big league.
The guy found a way his undertalented team could win. Putting your players in position to win is called COACHING.

continuing to take pitches on 3-0 counts up by ten runs
So if the pitcher throws the ball in the dirt your kids HAVE to swing at it if you want to stay in the league?

There is a world of difference between having a third string RB score a TD and stealing bases when you're up by 10.
