Before we go on for another 4 pages arguing about the times when calls should NOT be changed, at the very begining of this post I stated that this should not be taking to absurdity. However there seems to be a few here that either don't understand that word, don't umpire anything past LL or have ego's that are bigger than the game they are officiating.
IN GAMES WHERE THE PLAYERs SHAVE, usually the partner Im working with would NEVER , NEVER question another officials judgement on calls like a balk. Why, because they have the knowledge and ability to be officiating that game in the first place.
By the same token they also have the intelligence to know how and when to ask for help in certain situations. In those rare, rare times when you need to correct a call, I have only once had it questioned. My reply, "Coach, is the problem that we changed the call or that we got it correct?"
He walked back to the dugout.
We can ALL think of situations where changing the call is not in the best intrest of the contest your officiating but, thoses are NOT the calls that are being discussed here. How about this, Get it right when you Can!
