Well I have to say I'm a bit embarrassed... The 10 second count was mentioned in jest. Only because that's what a free throw shooter has once the ball has been made at their disposal... I didn't actually know about the 20 seconds between pitches... I'm always learning something in this forum...
But Roger... I still think that 3 second call was okay.. That lanes only 30 feet long.. That's only 10 ft per second.
The game I called... and I know that there were more than a couple there that would dispute that I called anything... right... was a Fed JV game. Two comments I heard after the game had to do with my strike zone being too tight and the tag comming before the BR makes contact with the bag. Good input..
I keep seeing references made to ASA. Who plays ASA? Youth, College,.....? Why does there seem to be so many differences between ASA and Fed?
In the basketball ranks, there are a number of fellow officials that believe calling Rec ball doesn't help much with Fed ball, because of the rule differences and non-use of a few mechanics. Any thoughts along these lines for umping Rec softball?
