Also, as much as I hate to admit it, WWTB is correct as far as NCAA baseball & coaches. That's probably why they call it N.C.A.A. because coaches have No Clue Att All when it comes to evaluations

All coaches have a say on some level, they do not have the final say. So why give a damn when coaches tell you their opinion.

You can call me clueless about the easiest sport to officiate from my point of view, but it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that you should not be worried about what a coach says. Maybe this is my other sports background, but baseball is the one sport where there is hardly any evaluation to get to work a college game. I worked college baseball just because I was asked. I never had to prove I was worthy or good enough. All I had to do is accept the game and work the game. Not the same thing when I worked a college basketball game and not at all the same if I choose to work college football. Even when I moved here all I had to say is I worked some college and open sesame I had college games. Now if I stunk up the joint that might make an impact and change other opportunities in the future, but in baseball has the least accountability out of any sports I work. Maybe that is why many umpires here spend all their time trying to convince everyone they are to be respected.
