Carl, you always challenge us. As a professional ethicist, I feel called upon to toss my hat in this ring.
Perhaps you could tell us a little more?

More information is not going to help.
These clinics were scheduled more than three months in advance. We never heard anything from "Hector" until he failed to make the play-off list.
The Board members decided for whatever reason to allow him to evade the long-established policy. We announced the clinics at every meeting and emphasized there would be no exceptions.
But there was one.
In good conscience I could not serve on a Board that would turn its back on a rule of procedure.
Since I posted my first message, five of the umpires who were left off the list because they did not attend the training have demanded their names go onto the list. One senior official, who missed both clinics while calling D1 double-headers, informed the Board president that he would sue if his name is not sent to the coaches on Friday.
To all: I appreciate your comments. I am convinced the road I took was the right one.
