I'm in a quandary

Make all the umpires better by becoming UIC. You will still coach your kids on your own, especially if they end up with a crappy coach, right? All the kids and parents will ultimately benefit from someone who cares even a little about the umpiring - the level of ball will be elevated by a good umpiring crew. And you can take credit! On behalf of parents everywhere, thanks for even considering either job!
