I think the only really subjective opinions you'll get are from those of us who wear both hats. It's easy to say that it's out of line for an umpire to ever bring something like this to light during a game the umpires son is particpating in. But before we make that judgment please consider what the umpires son has gone through to get deep into an end of season tournament. The long hours of practice, the sacrificed weekend get aways in order to play double headers on Saturday's and Sundays during the season. My son comes waaaaay before umpiring to me. When I saw the fruits of his labor being devalued by an incompetent hack I did what I thought was right as a parent. No, I'm not talking about the comment I made two years ago, this is about me alerting my sons coach to an obvious intent to deceive balk that wasn't being called.
Tim.
