Going Back & Forth, Obstruction

I have been a slow pitch and fast pitch player. I have umpired both slow pitch and fast pitch sometimes up to the highest educational level. I have organized &/or coached both young teams and old man teams. I am a true believer that having been involved as a player and coach it makes me a better umpire.

Funny, most good umpires believe just the opposite, that being an umpire would make you a better coach and player.

Would you rather have students teaching our sons and daughters math and science or would rather have teachers who used to be students teaching. How can you you be a teacher before being a student?

Please note: I will be posting in the American variety of the English language. Obviously, you read one thing and respond otherwise.

I have never seen a player or coach who did not learn more about the game through attending umpire schools and clinics.
