Agreed and it is a problem. I remember years ago when I was young and moving up the ranks in college etc., it was tough. It was tough to be prepared day after day, dealing even then with coaches, fans, players etc.,

Now I'm older and don't think it would have any of the patience that it took when i was younger to be a good umpire at that level. Most of the veteran umpires are getting OLD! (like me). The older I get, the less patience I have with spoiled rotten little kids trying to tell me how to do my job ...

Thanks
