She also told me that this ump worked every game with the same partner, a woman over 6 feet tall, and that the difference in height created a rather amusing picture, especially when they conferred on something.

I sincerely hope that what I was told was exagerrated. I do think that a real NCAA umpire who behaved as described would not last long.

It also struck me that there may have been some incident in a previous game that made this woman decide to be 100% intolerant that day.

Poor excuse. Every game should be officiated on its own merit.
