First of all I always use a clean newly washed uniform. Everything tucked in. RIght socks and everything.
I might talk to the first or third base coach a little, but not much. I feel that getting too chummy with coaches, and players, in hibits my ability to make fair calls. For example, if there is a runner on first and I am in A (I think that A is behind First, Im not sure) and I talk to the base coach, I might be "scared" or intimidated. This is probably because I am only 16, and we all know how intelligent coaches are, I just can't do it, I'd crack. I do, however, talk to my pard during the game. I ahve had the same pard since I started working the 13-14 games. I work with a guy who is 20 and we are friends. Never saw a problem with this.
As far as the clicker on the bases, I don't do it when I am on the bases. I think that this is unporfessional, and I trust my pard with the count.
