Believe me, negative feedback is much worse for a coach than an umpire. Sure, a coach can cut a player - or whatever. But then you have to recruit to fill the spot, and then train them to catch up with the team - it usually isn't worth it, so you stick it out until the end of the season or until there is a nuke.
Don't get me wrong, I love coaching as well as umpiring, but with umpiring there are no strings attached.
