I guess I have to agree with Jim Mills about the umpire shortage, and the fact that if an AD can cover all his games quickly and conveniently, who can fault him for doing so? I know we've all heard the term "homer" and are familiar with all of it's ramifications. We've also all heard the term "warm body" - heck, we've all BEEN that warm body at some point in our career - and know what that's all about. Still, even if I could have the best umpire in my area for every game I'd still be hard pressed to take him. There's another term that comes to mind..."familiarity breeds..."
