Don,
The college game is a whole 'nother world than high school and many of the ASA classes. Part of the difference is that the vast majority of the coaches are professionals - as in they earn their livelyhood by coaching softball. The coaches in the conference that I normally work know the book as well as most umps and better than quite a few. The NCAA rules pretty much match ASA's, but there are some differences. As I see it, many of the differences are through the "exactness" of the terms used. That's the main reason I "played the word game" by saying it that her walking instead of running meant the requirements weren't met. I'll say this, if she's running, beyond the 3-foot lane, and outside of it - you'd better call an out.
