As George's brother, Ira, said: "It ain't necessarily so."
1. Much of what the schools teach is designed to help them compare students against one another.
2. The two schools teach some mechanics differently. Would PBUC dictate that?
3. Jim has said that they (the schools) don't always know what PBUC wants on certain mechanics because it changes often and PBUC doesn't notify them in advance.
4. PBUC actually encourages some individualization with some mechanics. Something the schools do not, and given how they have to compare student performance, cannot.
All I'm saying is don't get so wrapped up in the concept that everything the schools teach is the only way to do somethings, or even, necessarily the best way to do somethings.
As an aside. thanks for introducing this thread within the thread. I may use some of it in the last part of my series on rookie MiLB umpires and their training. The final installment deals with those things we can take from the pros and those things that really don't matter and the attitudes amateurs have regarding both.
