In my very humble opinion, the difference between an umpire who does both and a good umpire who does both is that the good umpire understands the intent of the rule and the intent of the governing body.

As has been stated by several on here before, NFHS is less punitive. These differences are there for a reason. Some of us, as umpires, may not like it, but the game is not about us: it is about players, and in NFHS a participatory extracurricular activity that is an extension of school.
