Im not real sure what youre asking here. When working the wing, the only time I drop my bag to retrieve the ball is when I need to mark the spot where the runner went out of bounds or the ball left the field on a fumble or kick. As far as the Umpire retrieving the ball outside the hash, that usually depends on who Im working with. Theres some WHs I work with who like the old school way where the U never goes outside the hash. Then theres the newer type who want you to be more mobile. I like the more mobile type myself. It shows more hustle and keeps the game moving along. As far as working collage ball goes, itll be down-gradesvill big time to the Ump who stays inside the hash
