My $.02 since we got off on this "I used to Umpire" tangent.
It seems to me that when I have gotten this comment it is from someone who maybe did "used to umpire" but never really reached the stage where he actually was an umpire.
What I mean by that is, if I ever found myself in a coaching position and was going out to discuss something with an umpire, although I certainly would use my knowledge of the rules in the discussion, I would have no need to announce my former experience. Maybe I "used to umpire" or even was still an umpire, but because of that, I certainly am aware that at this moment in time, I am NOT an umpire.
A guy who has to announce that he was an umpire is telling me he still has a lot to learn about the game.....
