- Being looked at like an idiot when I confirm that the complaining coaches are right, contact is not required for INT, so you dont EVER say to a coach "there was no contact so no INT". Yep, two "vets" said same thing to the irate coach.
- Long sleeve white shirts under the blue shirts

We had the same problem with the same group of "vets" at our HS regionals.

I think I umpired with some of those knuckleheads at a tournament in Colorado last year.
