Interesting conversation on this one....
Just the past two years in our umpire association clinics that works NCAA games, we were told to "make the call...don't point and ask for assistance...if the teams wish for you to ask for help, then go for the help."
This has become the SOP and we are evaluated on that procedure.
I know for many years we asked for help before making the call, this has been a BIG change for us...but that is what we are asked to do.
And to be honest, it has worked out just fine and the coaches like it.....coaches told our association leadership that they didn't want to see the umpires "pointing at each other."
