Best thing I ever did was be AC coach for a couple of years. When you hear all that crap from the other side of the fence it gives you a new appreciation for what coaches & umpires deal with lol. I am a way better fan of the game now than before I coached.
Agree completely. After I was AC for a couple of years, and went back to just sitting in the stands, I don't question the coaches decisions any more. Parents sit in the stands and talk about the coaches and how they would do things different etc, and it drives me nuts. And I hate, hate, hate the parents that yell and question upmires every call.
