Does anyone monitor a coach's knowledge of the sport they are coaching?

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of your question. If that is a straight out question, then yes, it's pretty simple to do. If there is some implication meant by the question, I don't get it from the question alone. Please clarify.

Just curious about some plays in baseball and softball......first baseman stretching out, outfield moving in first step, catcher throwing down when a runner on third...Seems like some of these were fundamentals taught in early years of ball, but we are new so not sure if we were taught correctly in previous years. Hope this helps clarify a little...may just be situational but seems to be a pattern. Just wondering if there is a group that takes a look at games and flags possible errors that need correcting to help a team become better.

i did conduct a clinic in previous years. I taught players not to throw down to second if a runner was on third, (constantly missed throw down and runner scored) and not to stretch out at first because a ball can go faster to your bag. BTW, runner was safe all season when there was a stretch, and then there was no ability to quickly block a ball if stretched out and had no ability to cover an error. Also, taught outfielders not to run in before they judged the distance of a ball, and for a batter that needs to move up in a box if needed...I do know you cant do things the same way and expect different results. I was just wondering were there any monitors to see if players are being taught correctly. It seems like there are many extra players who were recruited and not being used. The results are the same ,constantly, with the same strike outs, no adjustments in stances in the box, and fielding errors. Yet, we see no changes in the end result, and it is end of season.

The throw down to second is a call that comes from the dugout. When its first and third you see the catcher look over stand and sign the call to the field. sometimes its a no throw, if its a slow runner on third they may opt to throw, or ive seen a fake throw to the pitcher who turns and guns the guy out on third.
