Okay LDUB, you win......... but I'll keep doing it the wrong way by not allowing coaches to argue my strike zone.

I'd still love to see one of your games where you allow the coaches to come out to the plate to "question a ball or strike" call any time that they want (wouldn't want to work it with you though). I hope that your games have time limits. Where do you umpire?

Another question, when the the coaches come out to "question a ball or strike" do you change your call? That would really be fun to see

I have an idea for you......at the pre-game meeting with the coaches just ask them what they'd like the strike zone to be, that way no arguing
