I had my last HS game yesterday. I have been working alot of the Christian school Varsity games. Two type of umpires get assigned these games, the hustling newbys and the old vets. When i say old vets I mean people in their late 60'"s/ early 70"s.
So the SITCH was pitcher standing on the pitchers plate, facing home, does a complete revolution but doesn't throw the ball. Then backs off the plate. Offensive coach starts calling for a IP. i call time and start walking out to BU, he then shakes his head indicating that wasn't a IP. In hindsight i think it was and we should have awarded he runner on 3B Home.
I am thinking I messed up by not calling an IP. I also realized that I let the vets off the hook too easy. I mean the guy is in his early 70"s. I have workedd with him before and I almost see him as a grandfather type. i should have been a little more forceful in talking to him about what just happened.
As always feedback is greatly appreciated.
