Yes, it's Tony's group. Yes, they have the skills. I have met and worked with virtually no one in the association that does not have the skills and knowledge needed. If they didn't, they wouldn't be tolerated.
But there are egos. Never to the point where they would step on your calls (at least not in a big college game), but there are a number in the association that let you know they are the "Big Dogs".
And yes, it is worse at clinics/meetings than on the field.
And the CWS ump with the chip mentioned above was NOT one of Tony's umps.
