I started doing JV baseball last spring after 10+ years in basketball and soccer. Learning the rules was the hardest part. The game management skills definetely spill over into other sports. Some of the JV umpires I was working with would warn me about how brutal the coaches could be, but I found that compared to Basketball coaches, they were nothing. Those umpires were amazed on how quickly and easily I could diffuse situations they would back away from.
