Coaches

[UmpJM]

Gentlemen,

I am currently involved with coaching two baseball teams. On one team, I am the Manager/Head Coach while on the other, I am an Assistant Coach. On the team where I am the Assistant Coach, should an occasion arise during a game where we believe the umpire(s) may have misapplied a rule in making a decision, I represent our team in the discussion with the umpire(s).

I suggest that this is proper, legal, and the team's decision rather than the umpires'.

What do you think?

JM
