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  |
Wait up, please. No one is saying that the umpire should permit coaches to argue balls and strikes. The only issue — a tiny one, at that — is whether such arguing rates an automatic ejection.
In the OBR a coach is ejected immediately if he "leaves his position" to argue balls and strikes.
There's no similar language in the NFHS, and the 1993 national test question emphasized that point.
