Yuck.

I hope either U3 or the UIC check out this forum occasionally ... but I'm sure they don't. Anytime I see an umpire go hang out at the mound waiting for their moment, I chuckle to myself. A guy loses all respect and all benefit of the doubt from that moment forward in my book.

I usually call them over at some point and let them know that coaching is not part of our job. It usually puts an end to it, at least while I am around. I am sure that they go back to it the next time they are on the field.
