the good and the not so good

[Hughester]

I can't believe that parents would continue to let their kid be coached by the coaches described in this thread. I have coached softball for about 13 years and have never been thrown out of a game. there are tactical ways to get a message to a umpire without being a a**. most of the time I just talk to my team when a missed call was called or a close strike I needed i did'nt get. But overall I have never played a game where the umpires lost it for me. not saying I dont have a big mouth and dont get excited when a call dont go my way, because i do, however, I make sure i always have respect. the same goes for my girls.
