    Need Advice from HS Coach Regarding HS / Travel Tournament Conflict

    As a High School Varsity coach, I easily would say school ball comes first. With that said, you could have a conversation with the High School coach. I excused a girl last season so she could play in a Showcase tournament in Kansas City, but that is the exception to the rule.

    Strangest thing an Umpire has said to you?

    I was coaching in a tournament in Tennessee. I was coaching third and argued a call at the plate. The home plate umpire looked at me a said something, I have no idea what he said. It sounded like Boomhauer from King of the Hill. I only said "Okay" and walked back to my coaches box.

    Showcase camps question
