To all of our umpires and experienced coaches:
I’m trying to improve my understanding of lineup cards, allowable substitutions and creative ways to get players in and out of games. I am a former assistant coach that has been thrust into a head coaching spot. I still have the entire coaching staff coaching, including the former head coach. They totally know what they are doing and will help any way I ask but I need to learn this stuff inside and out, and I need to do it now not next year.
I have read articles on DP/Flex etc. that are aimed at coaches. It is not clicking like it should. I realized that if I understood how umpires are trained and what they do with lineup cards after I turn them in to document players in and out of the game I would probably understand it a lot better from the coaching side. (Side note: Marriard, your post in another thread about managing large rosters was very helpful and I have read it several times.)
Can you direct me to umpire training or articles so I can see lineup card training? Seems like that will shine a light on allowable substitutions and help both me and the umpires I’m working with.
Experienced coaches, if you have creative things you do in certain situations, I’d love to hear them. Thanks, ww
