So what you're saying is that being better means listening to you, regardless of how stupid or trivial your "advice" is? Are you going to bust people back to youth ball if they don't follow your every whim?
I am also a college baseball umpire. And 99% of being a good baseball umpire involves calling pitches well and having good game management skills. If you are in a conference where being deferential to the assignor is the most important skill, I feel sorry for you.
I feel more sorry for the officials in your association.
