Exclamation Dude, please keep your day job.

Sportsannouncing,

Instead of telling us what we need to do and what will help us umpire and officiate, why not pick up a book on umpiring and officiating and read what experts say that have much more understanding of the game than anyone here. You seem to have all these opinions on what we should be doing, why not pick up something and read it. You might actually learn something.

It is not our jobs to make the jobs of the players and coaches easier. It is our jobs to call the game and nothing more. What we tell them has parameters and should be very limited. Because if I am always explaining to one team a situation and not talking to the other, then you would accuse me of favortism. Good teams do not need umpires or officials to tell them anything. If you officiated, you might understand that fact.

Peace
