Not a critique; just a comment about me. I would never use a "sham" strike zone or 2 different strike zones in any game where I was actually in uniform. After all, if the coach wants his players to get strikes on pitches in the dirt, he can always have them offer on a bunt attempt or something harmless.
I did once "umpire" a friendly pickup game with a bunch of friends where I did some of that stuff - just to pick and poke, etc.
