~sigh~
"Talking to a coach today and he said that there has been talk at the collegiate and professional levels regarding returning to the balloon because umpires are getting sick of being used for target practice."
Your source is wrong.
There have been no conversations at any level to change back.
After reading this outlandish statement I left voice mails for 6 MLB umpires and 2 Collegiate Commissioners.
The best voice mail that I got back (#5) said:
"Tee, where do you get this crap? -- there is no such conversation in process."
