I used to think that rat (not a word I have used many times) meant an obnoxious/confrontational/sleazy coach. I have come to learn that, for many here, rat means any and all coaches no matter what they do and no matter how unprofessional the umpire is.

I have umpired for 15+ years and have never such a view of coaches. Have I dealt with "rats'? yes, I have...some of them have been coaches and some have been umpires.

I think the reason so many people here insult you and others for being coaches is because they are jealous.
