Let me change the subject slightly. I just saw Hawaii beat Davenport, IA. The plate umpire called every foul ball as if was a life/death matter.
I teach my students to yell "Foul!" (after "Time") only when their opinion matters: close play or runners advancing.
Have I been doing that wrong?

We have guys in FED and even in the odd couple in NCAA that do that. They look like, dare I say, LL umpires.
You're teaching that exactly right--and you know it.

I've been told by some pros that "foul" is not for calls but for discussion: "Yes, Joe, it was foul," says Froemming after yelling "Time!" on ARod's smash down the line.
