I hear what you are saying, however; I consider the players/coaches to be our real 'customer' if you want to use that kind of terminology. I never consider the school administration or AD's in the same way.

I have to admit, Larry, that you have a point there.

It was stated here before but, I believe, needs to be repeated: if coaches and players didn't try to cheat, there would be no need for umpires.

That reminds me of something I saw last spring.

As I was leaving school one day, I saw our JV team scrimmaging a cross town rival. There were no umpires and the coaches were taking turns calling balls and strikes from behind the pitcher, each calling for their own defense.

I walked up to the far end of the home side dugout and watched as a coach called a low and outside pitch a strike. I noted to the head coach in the third base box, "You'd have chewed my butt if I called that."

He replied, "No worries. I get to call when we're pitching. Stick around you'll see that one again."
