You lost me on all that other stuff. But my obligation is to the game, which has a set of rules and standards. And ultimately I am obligated more to the state for HS and the NCAA that sets the rules and sets the standards they want from their umpires. Coaches are far down on the list of importance if you ask me. But if you feel everything they do is highly important, that is your right to feel that way.

Peace
