This is a very concise summary of the position we are in as umpires. We must hold ourselves above the actions of the (occassional) a-hole players and coaches.

I find it interesting that in the NCAA SB rulebook, written mostly by the coaches, that the umpires have about 50 entries under "code of conduct" and the coaches have about 10.
