I will NEVER do the "hula swoosh".

I learned that at the first National School I attended in 2008 (?).

One of our instructors was Norm Davis, then the State UIC for Maine and the Region 1 UIC. Norm passed in 2013. He was actually in a wheelchair doing our school.

Anyhoos, someone did the "hula swoosh" while making a call at first base. And boy, did we hear it from Norm! We had to go through the whole line again giving the (then ASA) correct mechanic. Point, "off the base!", safe.

He was a wealth of knowledge...
