I will let it die out. I accept all advice and criticisum. Watch a college or pro game. A lot of the catchers lob it back to the pitcher from their knees etc. Who gives a **** how the catcher returns the ball has long has it does not affect the out come of the game. No harm no foul...
Try to calm down just a bit. Some coaches in high school, college, and pro's want the catcher to get it back to the pitcher the same way every time, rapidly. This prevents runners from getting any ideas, provides a cadence for the pitcher to find "rhythm" and a host of other reasons. I certainly feel your pain and plight because our kids have gotten yelled at for what we think is no reason over the years and natural reaction is to blow up at the coach. We are not faulting you for your emotions but simply stating beliefs based on experience (which is what this board is for).
