Please don't generalize, most NFHS only and most umpires in general had no problem with that change or any other.

Did not generalize. I was specific to this clinic. These Fed-only umpires spent more than 20 minutes with considerably simple questions, repeating them multiple times. Until I ran into the NFHS, I had never, NEVER heard of the automatic call as opposed to an appeal. I was well versed in appeals even at the age of 14 in 1966. It isn't brain surgery.
