I find that only bad umpires have this opinion. I've never had an issue with a coach who also umpires.

Wish you could see the NYS test.....of which EsqUmp happens to be one of the co-authors!

Seriously, as you may or may not know, NY is a non-NFHS school in softball, and although we go by ASA JO rules. our mechanics are totally different to the point that we have a separate NYSSO mechanics manual - written by EsqUmp. When you compare our test to say, the ASA test - or just about any other test of this kind, it really is written well.

I must have used too few smilies to denote the sarcasm. I've never had any issues, either, except when coaching.

(Sometimes I forget no one on this board knows I played MFP (poorly) and coached 14U for a few years after getting burnt out. Now I just help with my DD's 8U team when I am not working games.)
