I have never effected a "malicious contact" call/EJ in over 1,000 games umpired. Every collision I have seen was either legal (in my post-grad summer league work, MLB rules) or simply a train wreck.
I once called a runner out for using his arms to interfere with F2's apply of a tag. Off. coach wanted MC, but I flat didn't see the reason for an EJ.
My pernt is that, especially with young 'uns, elders view any collision as some sort of mortal sin. All I've seen are venial ones.
