I work Football, Basketball and Baseball. I work at the highest level I work is Baseball. It is by far the easiest sport for me to work. The decisions are easily defined most of the time. It is either a strike or a ball. An out or a safe call, a home run or not. I do not even have to be consistent with my partner's calls when I umpire. As a football and basketball official, I have to work much more with partners and be on the same page with my partners.

So it cracks me up when a baseball umpire comes to a basketball board to talk about calls that are not close to anything in baseball. The game is not simple and black and white.
