That doesn't really make any sense to me. Wouldn't the usage of the term "rat" by anyone be dependent on the perceived behavior or actions of the coach rather than the experience of the person using the term?
Methinks that the young 'un has already differentiated between a "coach" and a "rat" by saying that a "rat" is a coach that dis-respects umpires. Methinks also that if you're going to question young Canada, in this particular case you should maybe be questioning his judgment, not his experience.
Of course, none of this particular l'il disagreement is worth a rat's azz anyway imo.
