Don't start hopping too fast

If you are going to get hopping mad about a UIC bringing down a rule book during your game, don't go to an ASA National.
I have been to 4 different Nationals in the last three years where this happened.
Of course all three times the UIC was backing the umpires on the field.
It may happen more than I know, but in that case I have no problem.

If it were to happen in relation to a protest, again I have no problem with it.
I know my rules, occassionally I have brain flatulence, but I have never had a protest turn out against me.
(but......I have made a mistake and no one protested, phew!)

Don't take yourself too seriously guys, you will burn out.

I don't care if a coach pulls out a rule book to talk to me (nicely of course) If I don't want to talk, I ignore them.
If they want to try and show me up, the parking lot is just a short walk away.

Be able to be approached but don't be a doormat.
