Question What is your point Windy?

I do not care what you have taught. The question was not what you taught, the question was what do you do if you disagree with the call? Are you going to change the call that your partner made, because you feel they have kicked it?

My ego has gotten the best of me? You are not even answering the question. All you can say is what you have done and what you have taught? I am not asking you anything about your resume, I want an answer about what you are going to do and why? I think your ego has gotten way out of hand if you believe that everyone thinks the same thing. Even in my other sports, very successful officials disagree on procedure and practice. That is very common. Your opinion I am sure is not the only one out there. And I can think of an umpire that has worked the very same ball you claim to work and would not see it your way.

Peace
