In a 9-10 year old game between Canton and Massillon, the ump called a guy out, the coach got mad... and as the game went on he kept up with threats and obscenities.
League Pres was keeping score as apparently this was a championship game... he went over to calm the coach down and the coach went roundhouse on his ass and knocked him cold.
Game was 3-3 in the 8th when it was called.
There's obviously no reason to be like this, but why didn't the ump eject him earlier if he was swearing in front of 9-10 year olds at a game? Sure, dude would have punched the ump, but there's no mention of trying to remove this asshole.
Should this be a forfeit? It doesn't mention it, but I don't know how I'd feel. It's bad for the kids to lose because of an idiot adult, but at the same time should any team whose coach cold cocked a guy during the game even be given the chance to win, especially at an age group when you try to teach sportsmanship?
