Humorous? Yes, to some point. But around here, NFHS is built around baseball umpires. Softball has crept in there, but to this day, the UIC is a baseball guy first.
BTW, DP/FLEX? Ludicrous change. The DEFO was perfect as the DEFO was Defense Only. When that player went into the batting order, the DEFO went away.
Personally, I'd just rather see the rule go away. I've always thought of it as a Charlie Finley type of rule.
