A lot from the players perspective. Remember, I posted in reponse to a claim that Bruce had the respect of the players. Hopefully we don't need to present a lesson in statistics. Given the number of responses from the population surveyed, the results should be reliable indicators of player attitudes. This was, afterall, an attitudinal study, not a research of fact.
The listing of Joe in both top and bottom ten bears out the claim by some players that Joe is the kind of ump you love or hate...no middle ground.
