I cannot agree about the sunglasses comments. I wear mine a lot. I don't think it's disrespectful to keep them on when talking to someone. Especially a coach, who is also wearing sunglasses.

Well I think you will agree to disagree with most on this board. It is a sign of respect to take the glasses off and look them in the eye. Even if they don't take theirs off when they talk to us, we should be above that and take ours off and look them in the eye. I also wear glasses almost always as my contacts hate the dust, but they come off at the plate conference and anytime I am discussing something with a coach. Not for lineup changes but anytime we are having a discussion about a ruling etc.

Ripping weak and discourteous umpires, as a teaching moment.

Remember when it was taught to annoy the coach by walking in small circles and make the coach chase if s/he wanted to "argue"? Or put your back to the sun to force the coach to look into it. I have never taught such things and would correct anyone who would bring them up in a clinic. IMO, an umpire who uses such childish tactics is classless. AFA the sunglasses, I agree with Dave
