As softball umpires we call in the down posistion pop up ... signal ... take a step back. What about the guys who work scissors with a point for a strike in MLB... they take just as long or longer to signal... o WAIT they signal and VERBALIZE at the same time so really they take longer....

Tim McClelland is the perfect example of "timing" vs "way way too much time".
The announcers are sitting right behind the PU at most NCAA games.
If they are missing it.. guess what?
Maybe we need to rethunk it.
