That's what get's my goat Reitz... people assume that because you question the ump's behavior, you somehow support or condone Dusty's actions. Dusty definitely lost his temper and demonstrated behavior that is unacceptable an any setting, much less at an event focused on and attended by kids. That however, does not automatically clear the ump of instigating and escalating the situation because he "had authority" over the coach, as some posters evidently assume. Wrong is wrong, and because one side of an argument is wrong, doesn't mean the other is right.
