If you stick a kid out in the outfield and then scold him for not paying attention, it's poor coaching. I've coached so I understand the temptations of setting up your best lineups but your weaker kids won't learn the game if they don't get opportunity. Ends up being a selection bias situation. I'm loath to interfere though
