one thing i wouldnt do is comment on the level of another umpire. it just leaves the door wide open for the coach/fan. he could easily come back with "oh, he works NCAA but cant do [insert something here]. thats just great." id just say your first sentence of that quote and leave it at that.

i was BU at a game a month ago, and my PU ended the plate conference with "...and hes a good umpire. hes done [insert my years and levels worked] and hes not going to miss anything. if he wasnt good, he wouldnt be here. he might be young, but hes your umpire. good luck managers, lets have a good one." i just thought that was completely unecessary to be brought up at any point.
