Agreed on all accounts
I get the feeling that coaches are not liked too much around these parts
Like I said, I started coaching to get my kid into the game. He grabbed on to it and enjoyed me coaching so I stuck with it. This is the first year coaching at this age level where all the exceptions aren't in place like they were for younger kids ... so I'm doing everything I can to understand the rules and it frustrates the heck out of me that our umpires don't know them and everyone stands around after a play not knowing what to do or how to call it.
