I completely agree. Most coaches know what they are doing, and they do their jobs very well. Some are just unbelieveably stupid.
Case in point...
10U game, bases juiced, one out. B4 hits a small roller to F1. F1 throws to F2 to get the force at home and F2 then throws to F5 in time at 3B. I call out at 3B and the coach says, "Why is she out? She has to tag her." I look at him, hang my head in disgust, and walk away. He asks again. I say in a babyish way, "Da ball got dare before da runner." He says that I was talking condescending to him (which I was) and he said "who the hell do I think I am". I say, "I am someone who knows the basic rules of the game." Just a big pain in the butt, that's all. It's a shame that the players know more about the game than the coaches.
