If he is ... My limited Umpire experience would say that a good coach is 'respectful' to them, their opponents, team and knowledgable of the rules ...

You will always know a good coach because he starts your DD every game.

Of course the reverse is also true - the less your DD plays, the more the coach is a total buffoon!

And I'm not kidding. Just ask any parent out there.

Good to know I'm not the only one having trouble navigating the Bucket since the recent changes were made.

Since we are talking Umpire's Corner:
Think CaddyShack:
They are about to tee off for $80K.
Dangerfield goes to the official and says:
"Here's a hundred dollars, keep it fair, keep it fair"
That is what I look for in a coach!
