Yeah, I have also worked at fields where the ground crew doesn't get it, and we gave up. But, never at a Div 1 NCAA game or tournament; the circle would be redrawn if incorrect. Even if the umpires didn't care to correct it, the outraged outcry of the coaches would have kept them from playing on an imperfect field. They pay more attention to that, than the obvious illegality of their pitcher.
Anyone who doesn't REALLY think that is a replant is living in a dream world, I believe.
