Management
Whiskers, Thank You. Have not had a chance to get the book out myself yet. I personally believe that as an umpire you are part salesman and part manager yourself. If the umpire has a feel for the game and manages it within the guidelines of the book and fair play you don't have this problem and you don't have to quote the book in this instance. I'm not a control freak or a control nut as an umpire but I'm still steering this puppy they call a softball game and if I'm doing my job, the issue of a coach manipulating this particular rule never comes into play and the coaches respect me more as an umpire.
