With that attitude you wouldn't last a week.

I teach that the game is controlled through the coach, not through kids.
Well Carl, it has served me well enough to last 23 years here in Nova Scotia. Heck, even got me to 10 Nationals. Golly, you were even going to invite me to work the NBC regionals in Texas.

In fact, my whole philosophy is outlined in my five part series, The Thumb http://baseball.officiating.com/x/article/2440

Have a lovely evening.

Blaine: I see you've reverted to your old self, ignoring emails and calling people "stupid" who disagree with you. (grin)

You were responsible for my being a clinician in Nova Scotia on the Victoria Day weekend. You were in my clinic. Therefore, my philosophy of game control is well known to you: Control the coach (with as much redass as you think necessary), and you won't have trouble with the players.

You did not reach the heights you did by being redass. You got there because you call good. At the nationals, coaches and players -- you told me -- are generally very well behaved.

Have a nice day. And stay out of Quebec City.
