It's a whole different world.

12 years, all head coach, ages 7-18 (as my kids aged up). Some years multiple teams, head on one team assistant on another (2 sons). Numerous post season tournament coaching opportunities. Only 1 losing season, and career winning percentage is likely in the 75% range.
I actually took up umpiring high school during this time, and always planned to continue umpiring when I hung up the clipboard.
I was also a League Commissioner 3 or 4 years and Babe Ruth District Commissioner for 3 or 4 years during this time.
