Mixing the Set and Windup Positions

I just think you all hate rats

Rats, yes; Coaches, no. The two are not necessarily synonymous.

I am a coach, but not for my childs team (I don't have any). Does that make me a rat?

It's not whether you coach but how. Do you cheat, lie to gain an advantage, or otherwise try to manipulate the umpires and the game for the sake of winning?

Do you do any of that, shrug, and justify it with, "it's just part of the game"?

I can't say I do anything like that.

I coach the game the way it is suppose to be played.

I don't know ... trying to correct the other team's pitcher and getting upset that the umpire wouldn't coach the kid sounds a little ratty to me. Jury's still out.

Not to mention your first post and someone else's last post timing...

I called time to ask a question about the situation. I never said anything to the Umpire after him giving me the answer (Prior to the question being asked). I never tried to correct the pitcher at all. I could have went to the coach and voiced my concern but I didn't (Should have).

All well and good, but there are coaches who claim their unethical behavior is just part of the way it's supposed to be played. Poor ethics in the name of gamesmanship. Happens in all sports, we just have a different name for it in basketball.
