I agree. I have been known to instruct coaches, post-game, how to diplomatically approach umpires. There are some coaches that, like me, need to be trained in some of the finer aspects of our sport, and apparently no one is sharing or available for them. I classify this as preventative umpiring. My intent is to help a the coach as well as fellow officials by sharing what I have learned.
