Opinions??

We stay in B all the time with our HS crews.
I noticed in college game last week that the umpires are using B even with 3 man crew and runner at 1st or 1st and 2nd.
since I haven't done college in a couple of years was just wondering if that was a change since I used to see them in C most of the time.
As for your question, I prefer B.
thanks
