This might sound harsh, but your statements on this board actually say a LOT about how you coach your players.

You have to understand many here like me have been umpiring this game for 30+ years and I've seen many 10 years old undefeated teams.

Heck we even have a HS team in our state that set the national record for consecutive wins recently; however, in talking with their coach, who is a friend of mine, they became a much better team "AFTER" they lost a game and quit chasing records.

So good calls happen, bad calls happen, undefeated seasons are a dime a dozen. Many of these 10 yr olds will not even be playing ball in HS, so this season will be just another good memory they can talk about with their own kids and grandkids.

Thanks
David
