That's crap. Umpires who work at the professional level, and at the highest levels of amateur ball (as does the person to whom you were responding), have the pressure of their record TOTALLY determining their continued employment.

The big difference is that when a coach is let go, there's a press release and a couple of interviews. With umpires, it happens that one day, they just aren't there anymore.
