I, for one, am not trying to find fault. I was just taken by surprise how deep into my instincts the notion of "wreck" was and how difficult it has been to re-calibrate to handle such a simple rule! A not just the wreck situations, but also with situations such as TexBlue describes. It goes against the grain, and it will take some time to rebuild the instincts.

Tom,

This was a general statement based on what we have both witnessed on multiple boards. Many people are talking about the "new" rule, when there is no new rule, but merely a change in the conditions upon which the rule goes into effect.

The scary thing to me is that there is just as many questions by umpires are there are coaches.

IOW, much ado about nothing.
