As you've seen, few will agree on any topic. Loyalties to fundamentals and manuals are engrained in our beings. I graduated from B/F a long time ago and relied on the BUD programs to get the job done. The guys I see from JEA are terrifically sound instructors and umpires. But they are robots married to his manual. Those that jump to the next level think that PBUC is the Holy Grail. Some groups have their own instruction manuals that are really sound. The bottom line is that with so many schools and so much money at stake, consolidation is an impossible task. Most of us are too set in our ways to abandon the things we know. Just look at how long it has taken for the high strike to be called by former American League umpires.
