It has been so long since I saw a good personal attack this is refreshing. I thought we had all become to civil. Way to go Daryl . . .
If I had feelings they would be hurt.

Tim,
Reading my posts you will see I hold myself to the same standard that I believe all others should adhere to.
I realize as umpires we are called upon to offer interpretations of difficult plays but when giving mine I also show the authority to which I base my conclusions on AND give that authority due credit. By the way, I never consider Daryl H. Long to be the Authority nor do I ever give him credit.
My authority is the rule book to pertinent to the level or code the game is bieing played under. If this is a NFHS baseball game then my authority is NF baseball rule book. If an NCAA game then NCAA Rule book.
By what authority do you base your interpretations on?
