When I am umpiring, your team gets one warning for leaving early, and then they start getting outs. We used to have coaches like you that took advantage of the rules, but we had to implement this rule to take care of it. This type of coaching, if you want to call it that, would get you a reprimand by myself (I am on the board) and the league president. You would not be coaching next year. You are obviously teaching the kids that bending the rules and winning is more important than sportsmanship. You stated yourself that you send the kids early, knowingly BREAKING THE RULES.

Of course, that is just around here, in Indiana, where we try to teach the fundamentals of the game, not how to run up the score and see how much we can push the rules.
