Thanks for all the input on my original post. I think there is agreement for the most part. The "get it right" argument is going to lead to more issues than a whore in church. There are going to be days when even the best of us make a call of "out" at first and one split second later realize he was actually safe. Same thing for a third strike call that has an impact. If those have never happened to you, you haven't been on the field long. I hope no one thinks we should reverse ourselves in those situations.

The NCAA, FED and many others can learn a lesson from pros. Get in the best position you can, make the call, and in almost all instances, man up and stay with your call. If the coach thinks it's an ego thing because I won't go to my partner, it's just one more of his thoughts that I couldn't care less about.

I'll say it again, in both games, the D1 crews looked foolish. BTY in another of the super regionals, a coach comes out of the dugout, onto the field, screaming about a balk called against his pitcher. NO EJECTION! Why?????
