Quirk sets the tempo of the game, out hustles most wing guys, DEMANDS the respect of the guys in the trenches and contrary to other postings is highly regarded, at least in the NCAA circles as a model umpire and teacher of the position.

When discussing where the area of responsibility for the umpire ended (e.g. to the numbers, to the hash ) he responded, "at the track".
I guess the point some of us make is that others do as fine a job as Quirk without the hoopla.
