It begins with you attitude and assumptions

As most professionals know, attitude colors everything.

Begins with me? Is it not a 2 way street here. There is a call and I disagree. I civilly inquire and the umpire is arrogant and refuses to listen to me? Oh just let it go.

I did it for a long time and the majority of the umpires were fine. We had disagreements on occassion we had our say and moved on. then came the creeping in of this confontational style. It is an opinion based on many years of experience. towards the end of my coaching tenure I had a young umpire tell me to get off his field. Where did he learn that?
