Why not another? 9U play

Lets put this in perspective Joe.

San Diego Steve (Because you like him), goes to evaluate your next officiating assignment and without talking to you comes back on the forum and rips your perforamance apart. Talks about how you should be returning some of the pay you received and also has a few choice names for you because you are just not as good as him or will never live up to his expectations.

Even though we could all say that hey, if you read all of Steve's 7 posts about your performance you would eventually beneifit from the advise of another Sr. official.

Would this really be ethical of Steve?

Sometimes Joe, it is not the package that is important, its the presentation of it. You may be the worlds greatest umpire but when we first met at my car and you said "Hello A%%hole "my name is Joe I am your partner, my impression never got any better about you than that.

I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

I encourage evaluation of my games. I seek out people to evaluate me. However, my umpiring skills have nothing to do with this situation.

Whether I have umpired 15 years or none, as a coach, I am not going to help an umpire call my guy out.

I am not an umpire when I am a coach and I am not a coach when I am an umpire.

I will never understand umpires who put on the coaching uniform and it's almost like they've never umpired or even heard the word integrity. You didn't just keep quiet, you essentially told the umpire "you called him safe, you can't change it now." One pound of cheese for the rat.

The phrase "coach that also umpires" seems appropriate here.

What does the adult on the cell phone collecting umpire fees get?

I did not tell him what he could and could not do. I made a flippant comment to a guy who had my money to do a job and was had made no effort to do that job properly.
