Leave it alone

Leave the rule alone as it is written now.
The teams will adjust if the bonehead umpires will call it and apply it correctly.
I am one of the ones who gets the old "well the last blue let us play that way" kind of comments.
The rule was put in place to help cut down on injuries.

We umpire amateur sports, they need some protection from themselves and those of us who don't want to do the job correctly.

I am sick to death of hearing, "well, they didn't gain an advantage," or other comments.
Call the game according to the rules or get off of the field.

As one of my past UIC's said, "If you don't have the balls to make the call, get off of my fields."

Ok, rant off.

Been a long couple of weeks on the road.
