What? You explain the rules to the coach? For the rest of us, when the coach comes out to complain about the strikezone, we ask him who's in charge now and tell him we hope his view of the zone is as good from the parking lot.

George - before you continue to beat this dead horse, I BEG you to ask a buddy to film yourself. I GUARANTEE that these strikes you're so sure of that hit the ground before the catcher can catch them are NOT strikes. I can't tell you what's wrong with your stance that makes you think they are strikes without seeing you - but perhaps you can see that from your film too.

(Note - if you're calling 10U, I take it all back!!)
