My buddy does HS, NCAA, and has done MiBL. Do you see that as a viable option?
That's known as an FYC. Effective FYS's are ones used judicially and in situations where everyone know what was done and why, no explanation necessary. Three in a row is a bit much.

The MiLB has fired umpires who used FYC's so blatantly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pFQMMY234U
