Evans began umpiring Little League games at age 14, where his playing experience as a catcher helped in judging balls and strikes.
In early 2012, Minor League Baseball (MiLB), who would often hire Evans' graduates as the first step of a professional umpiring career, severed ties with the school.
[7][8] This occurred following investigation of a private bowling party for school employees, where one group selected a team name, and briefly wore costumes, in the style of the Ku Klux Klan.
Part of the settlement included Evans being hired as a special advisor on umpiring matters to the president of Minor League Baseball.
[8] In addition to instructing in the United States, Evans has trained umpires in Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Japan, Puerto Rico, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.
