This may be true, but it is my experience that HS coaches are, as a group, the most respectful of the umpires. I get very little grief from HS coaches. This does not mean they are always pleased with my calls, but they know how to handle themselves, by and large.
Dakota,

I fully agree with your statement about being respectful. It does not, however, change my opinion about rules knowledge!

Around these parts, I would say that the vast majority of the HS coaches have a very good grasp on the rules of the game. Of course, there are always those that do as little as possible, but they are far and away the minority.
