It helps to be patient at the younger age groups and take time to explain the rules to the coaches. Use umpspeak, or cite the rule. Most are not knowledgeable, but want to appear so to the players and parents.
Take time to explain the rules (even if they say they understand) when the call is not controversial, or impacting the score. Then when a call does not go their way, since you've already provided the explananation, repeat the rule and suggest they explain to the parents. Also, make sure they know the difference between a rules question and a judgement call and interference and obstruction.

How great would it be to have a league where players have an appreciation of umpire and and an understanding of the rules from an umpires perspective?
Thanks Steve!
