I told the local TV guy here that if his network ever does the HS championship games, that it would be good to have an official as a resource in the booth. I've heard some pretty unknowledgeable comments from the announcers in many games.
As for the umpire signalling, we say he NEVER signals it. I consider the ANGLE to be more important than being close. Wings are trained to be in position for the call of whether the ball breaks the plane. NOT the umpire.
