So According to the NCAA Fastpitch Softball manual this is the best person to see the touch and to have the throwback... I would hate to disagree with the national umpire improvement program ... especially when I 100 percent agree with the mechanic

kcg. Just some courtesy tips to make your posts a little easier to read. Punctuate your sentences. When a thought ends, place a period there. Slow down, and try spell checking your posts before you make them. Little things like this make it much easier on the rest of us to understand the intent of your post.
Now, to the issue you brought up with the NCAA UIP. The manual released by the CCA is an excellent tool. I follow it to the T, or at least try to, when I am working the collegiate game. However, it is only intended for use in the college game. It does not supercede the mechanics put forth by ASA or NFHS for their respective games. Would I like to use the collegiate mechanics in all games? Yes, for the most part. However, to prevent confusion with my non-collegiate colleagues, I will follow the mechanics prescribed by the organization governing the game I am working. I suggest you adopt this philosophy as well.
