What is your point? You can be a good umpire and not work MLB. There is a difference between trying to be the very best and being competent.

You cannot rationally equate a choice to not move up the ladder with "badness". You cannot say logically that a manager is bad because he doesn't want to be the HS coach. You cannot logically say the league pres is bad because he doesn't want to be the HS AD or the LL DA.

What type of college degree do you need to be a LL president? What type of college degree do you need to be a HS AD? None of your presidents have the schooling to be an AD.
LL coaches are just the first dad who says he is off work by 5:00. In many places, HS coaches are school faculty. So unless this LL coach is a teacher, he has no chance of coaching.
In a place where school districts hire anyone to coach, they don't just hire the first shmuch who steps up. You have to have some level of skill.

Yes you can. Read Jenkins' post above. Moving up is the only way to improve one's skills. If working LL all your life got you good at umpiring, then why do we see these losers on TV?
