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?
Can someone please tell me what students teaching teachers has anything to do with the statement I made?

It sounds to me that Bandit is insinuating the the players and coaches are the teaches and the umpire the student.

I have never had a player/coach turn umpire that did not state that the umpire clinics and schools taught them much more about the game and rules than they ever imagined.
