I was approached by the president of our college baseball umpiring association asking me to give a presentation at our next meeting. He asked me to cover the CCA 2-man mechanics and told me that I have a maximum of 45 minutes to speak at this meeting. 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!
ive obviously never given a talk at a conference, but i think it would be best to just cover the mechanics you were asked to cover, so that you dont cover something that someone else wanted to mention. also, i dont really go to clinics/meetings looking for an unforgettable emmy winning performance, i just go to learn.
