They don't have egos - they have a mature sense of confidence
I have also worked D-1 baseball (can no longer due to work schedule). Believe me, there are PLENTY of egos among D-1 umps.
Good grief, at last year's clininc in Atlanta, the testosterone was so thick it would have frightened NFL players. One ump had just worked the 2003 CWS. He had a chip on his shoulder so big it took a number of umps to knock it off (but they tried!). There were so many "big dogs" I thought they were going to have to bring fire hydrants to p*** onto into the clinic rooms because of all of the "territory marking" that was going on.
