Not necessarily. Isn't perception nothing more than opinion based on belief and personal observation?

I can go through a pile of umpire rating cards submitted by HS coaches and tell you which team won the game based on comments about the umpires. Is a coach's perception reality, or just how they felt?

Last year a coach stated that the umpire was terrible, had no idea what the strike zone should be and was "short" with a coach.

In fact, the umpire is a highly regarded ISF qualified umpire who works the NPF & Big East/ECAC games.

While the coach may truly believe her perception to be reality, it may be only HER reality, not anyone else's.
