think about this though. who is he to tell you anything about umpiring? sure, hes a coach, and maybe he knows the game, but does he know umpiring? the answer is no, in almost all cases (99.999%). i dont think a police officer would appreciate it if you pulled over to the side of the road and told them how to aim their radar gun at passing cars. you dont know how to do it, you arent trained to do so.

I like the police analogy. They can be overly sensitive. I was late for a game once and got pulled over for doing 80 in a 40 mph zone. It took the cop forever to write out a ticket. After a while, I walked back to the patrol car, tapped on the window, and said to him, "I don't know if you noticed, but I was in a hurry."
