Generally they are teachers; they are role models; they are part of the educational process; they belong on the field with their students.

From the news story: "(Kerkman) yelled for me (Weakly) to come over and apologize to his players for the worst case of umpiring and adult conduct that he had seen in his 20 years in the sport. He apologized to his older players for my behavior and hoped that his younger players would never see anything like that in the future."
And this is what we want the teacher's to be teaching our children? IMO, this is the most disgusting thing the coach did in the whole messed up affair. He should have been apologizing to his players for his own behavior not the umpires.
