One is a pretty good umpire, he does some college, and AA minor work. Very low key, and will not take anyone to task out loud. He'll just stand beside you and tell you the rule that you just stuck a fork in.
The other one can't wait to pounce on the lesser skilled umpire. Miss a rotation, didn't see a missed base, miss the OBS at first, two guys at one base, you're going to hear about it. My son is brutal. Going from being an umpire instructor to a coach is an easy transition, but this time the students can eject you.
"Time!"
