I was mentoring a brand new umpire last night and one of their questions was, "What's the hardest thing about being an umpire?"
My response was, dealing with coaches, players and fans that think they know the rulebook but in reality, don't have a clue.
In their minds they are 100% correct but if they ever took the chance to actually read the rulebook, they would be surprised about their level of ignorance.
