Do you umpire NCAA baseball? Do you know how NCAA umpires are evaluated? Have you been to a recent NCAA clinic? The answer is obviously no because if you had you'd know that there is another possible answer.

These umpires are being evaluated by videotape for their compliance with NCAA rules. It's entirely likely that the umpire made the call because he wants to go back next year. Now that coaches no longer have veto power and umpire supervisors are supreme, his future is in the hands of the umpire supervisor. I'll bet he made that call cause he didn't want to explain to his supervisor the pyscho babble that you put in your post. Your psycho babble is yesterday's umpiring philosophy and umpires with that philosophy are fast becoming ex-NCAA umpires.
