A question of Ethics...

[GarthB]

I'll take a different approach on this, one that HHH might have written a few years back.

I can see that these umpires may have been just shooting the breeze for any number of reasons,(most likely, sucking up, but possibly just killing time) with a coach. Any coach worth his salt is going to, at best, humor the umps and then ignore anything they have to say about coaching.

Quite possibly the whole episode was meaningless BS.

Now then, if one of the umpires said: "Throw him down and in today because I'm calling anything that hits the black and stays out of the dirt a strike," it would be another issue entirely.
