There are MANY variations in the rules amongst the various rule sets and sanctioning bodies. The notion that some are real and some are not has to be based on something.
What are those somethings?
And look at the top of the page to see the posting rules. They don't say "only umpires".

Hey, rat, I played in a league when I was 11-12 years old where there were NO coaches. There was one adult to supervise the field all day and to organize the league, but all decisions were made by a playing team captain.
We don't NEED coaches. Over-organizing baseball is a result of parents wanting to be too involved in their children's play.
And, by the way, if it wasn't for you and your rat brethren, you wouldn't need umpires. We played pickup games all the time when I was a kid -- we kept score and made the calls ourselves.
