Please explain to me why you feel the need to dispute the credentials of Kyle McNeely? Whether you like it or not, he was the official rules interpreter for the NFHS baseball rules committee for 15 years. This is a position I highly doubt you could even begin to try to obtain.
Mr. McNeely is now the FED rules interpreter for the ABUA. An international organization with strong ties to the NFHS. You, on the other hand, are a mere speck on the Illinois umpiring screen. You now try to tell us all that Kyle is wrong, and we are all wrong along with him. Will you ever get over yourself and take a breath long enough to consider you're wrong.
You claim Tee can't argue logically, and you are the one who is not using any logic with your strong headed attitude.
In this thread alone, 7 members have said this is the right call. That doesn't include the response from Mr. McNeely.
Now I see why Carl booted your butt as WCB. It must feel real good to you knowing that even hiding under an assumed identity, you still can make a big enough spectacle out of yourself to annoy every single person on the forum.
You've been back for what, 2 weeks now under your new moniker? I'm certain you'll dig another hole deep enough to crawl into soon, so Carl can bar your butt again. Even under the new moniker, your slip is showing!
Tim.

Unfortunately in WCB's case (grin), I don't have any control over The Forum. There are two monitors (mick and bob). They can edit or delete posts but not members. Only the head honchos can do that, and I ain't in that group.
Kyle McNeeley for years lived in Texas and spoke at our state umpires meeting each January. He wrote several articles for Officiating.com. He is a nationally recognized authority on the rules of the NFHS. I quote him several times in the BRD.
I don't want anyone to get me wrong. I have often
despised his rulings. But I have always agreed that he spoke for the FED; therefore, his rulings were the law of the land.
In this thread his explanation of verbal interference is accurate, to the point, and crystal. Only those who are stubborn or obtuse could fail to "understand."
