Last night, Drew had a game at Maple. It was late starting because of the game before it, so I ended up watching the game on the other field with Keith and Ethan Pettigrew (ETHAN was scouting the other team). I don’t know the names, and I don’t know the people. But what I saw was a coach the knew the rules and knew how to exploit them to win a game for his 7 and 8 year olds. Yes, he was nit-picking and doing some ridiculous things to try to garner the win for his team. WHY NOT JUST LET THE KIDS PLAY AND STOP PLAYING MIND-GAMES WITH 8 YEAR OLDS AND TEENAGED UMPS????
I think it is a shame that grown men and women take all of this so seriously, but, then again, maybe THAT is why I am no longer coaching at Maple Park.
