Actually, I find the opposite is true.
In the rec leagues, some of the coaches are clueless, true, but nearly everyone (parents included) are exemplary good sports. They are there to have fun playing softball.
In travel ball, the really good teams are also a pleasure to work. When the coaches complain, it is usually founded in a knowledge of the game, and not just mindless whining.
However, the one-notch-below the really good teams can be the worst. These teams are almost good enough to beat the top teams on a good day. The parents and coaches are highly competitive types who are wanting in the worst way to beat the top teams. So, they take it out on the umpires.
Also, there is a community who has a reputation for having whining, complaining coaches for all of there teams (rec and travel), and the reputation is deserved.
