I'm not going to bore all of those in attendance with a 45 minute lecture on basic mechanics, I'm just going to cover some things that I've seen done incorrectly on many occasions in the past few years. That will take about 15 minutes. Here's where I need your input.
What topic would you like to see covered at your college association meeting? So far, we've covered 2006 rules changes and NCAA/NAIA rules differences. What would be another interesting and useful topic that you would recommend? What are some suggestions of topics I could discuss? I want to make this the meeting that fellow umpires will remember the rest of the year. Let me hear what ya' got. Thanks!

Your association president asked you to speak for a maximum of 45 minutes on CCA 2-man mechanics. If I were him I would be pissed if you did anything other than speak for a maximum of 45 minutes on CCA 2-man mechanics. And I would not speak for 15 minutes and call it good to go. Some of the 2-man mechanics are more than just basic and you can surely fill up 45 minutes with interesting situations, after you spend 15 minutes on the basics.
