The verdict- seems two things are going on here;
1) The coaches are just now being made aware that there is a LBR rule.? Most just did not even get into the book to notice.
2) I am the only Ump doing their league that was enforcing the LBR.
With just 3 weeks left in the season coaches feel they need more time to teach this to the girls..thus they have asked our Ump group to not call the LBR for the remainder of the season. This goes for the 14-17 age bracket also.
They did decide to have a softball meeting for ALL age bracket coaches in about one week to discuss these matters further.
I admit it is disturbing that out of the dozen or so of us that Ump their league, the others just let anything go so as not to "rock the boat". My assigner was there and shame on her for not getting those other Umps to start officiating like they are supposed to.
