On June 26, 2007, during a game in Anderson, South Carolina, Backman was involved in a profanity-laced tirade. After outfielder Doc Brooks was ejected for arguing balls and strikes, Backman confronted the home plate umpire to ask why his player had been ejected from the game before being ejected himself as well.
Backman then covered home plate with dirt while awaiting an answer to the question of why he was being ejected, which was never given by the umpire. Backman argued with the umpire again before returning to the dugout, where he tossed bats onto the field as well as a bucket full of baseballs.

During this, Backman repeatedly asked players on the field to move out of the way before tossing the bats and he did so in a calm fashion.

As a result of the incident, the home plate umpire who had ejected Backman and Brooks was issued a fine by the league, while Backman and his player who were ejected (Brooks) received no further penalties or fines stemming from this event. The South Georgia Peanuts then went on to win the league championship that season under Backman's lead.
