Correcting Blue's rules mis-interpretations

[reccer]

I am the coach who started this thread and you are right on both counts. I have naively left my trust with the umps to keep the game fair.

I now know that some of you will protect your own integrity and the integrity of the game and correct obvious rules violations without being prompted by coaches who are more focused on coaching the kids than umpiring.

The others of you will also keep the game fair-- but only after I point out that you don't know what you are doing.

For my games, I hope I get the proactive ump rather than the reactive. My energies need to be spent on the kids and how I can break through against the other team's power pitcher-- not on whether you are doing your job.
