Hey Pat, check out my reply to your association quandary (your "Advice" post)...
Anyway, if you do high school, one word of advice I'll give you is watch out for two types of schools--in the metro, these two types are umpires' headaches.
The first type is the small school--we could name some, but it would be pointless. Anyway, these schools usually don't have knowledgeable coaches and have limited funds. Thus, they might have a fair amount of illegal bats.
Secondly, some of the more cutthroat schools. All of the high school ones I've come in contact with are in the Twin Cities Suburban. Watch out, because these teams will force you to make the observation of the illegal bat (usually a player happens to pull one out of his bag just after the inspection). Not to slam on you, dude, but the worst team I've ever had for this was your home Babe Ruth team! Second was one from Rochester...
