This will/may work with that coach who is not trying to show me up, but the vast majority of times that a coach brings the book out, they are trying hard to show an ump up - they get told to put that book away.

Steve M,
I guess my area isn't that volatile. We tend to get along at our lower levels of ball.
And coaches don't try to show U.P. umps very much, cuz they just end up showing their dark side.
It's still a game here.
