Some guys don't know what a plate conference is for. A guy in our association had the plate at one school and announced, "we'll make mistakes today, but we'll be trying hard the whole game." Clueless.

I agree. I was whitehat 2 weeks ago at a peewee game, finished the toss and handshakes and the teams were starting to break up when my partner says, "Hold on! I need the captains and the head coaches!" I'm thinking... wtf is this? He then proceeds to announce his "Big Four" things of what not to do or "I'll toss ya!" One of them was, "If you're in a pile and I tap you on the shoulder, you better not react like I'm the other team, ... or I'll toss ya!"

Complete moron.

Yeah, you gotta watch those peewee players. They have no respect for authority.
