That is being kind. These must be extremely old-school umpires who believe earning their stripes means having skin thick enough to take anything a player or coach can put out. Of course, these are probably also the type of guys that will eat every call questioned instead of going to a partner for help when a valid reason exists.
AFAIC, these guys can stay where they are and never move. They are not good for the game or their fellow umpires.
