Emotion

I think that coaches as well as umpires should try to see each others job from the others shoes. It is so true that on every close call, half like it and the other half think you are crazy. One of the reasons this happens is because, unlike umpires, coaches and players react based on emotion. They prepare and play hard, so when a close call goes against them, they react on emotion instead of logic. Often, after a game I am sure that the situation will be clearer when rehashed by players and coaches.

As a good umpire you simply call the game, emotion should not cloud your judgement. Unlike a player we do not want the call SOOOOO Much! Umpires simply call what they see. Coaches and Players need to understand that.
