Even though we could all say that hey, if you read all of Steve's 7 posts about your performance you would eventually beneifit from the advise of another Sr. official.

Would this really be ethical of Steve?

Sometimes Joe, it is not the package that is important, its the presentation of it. You may be the worlds greatest umpire but when we first met at my car and you said "Hello A%%hole "my name is Joe I am your partner, my impression never got any better about you than that.
I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

I encourage evaluation of my games. I seek out people to evaluate me. However, my umpiring skills have nothing to do with this situation.

Whether I have umpired 15 years or none, as a coach, I am not going to help an umpire call my guy out.

I am not an umpire when I am a coach and I am not a coach when I am an umpire.
