That pretty much sums up my thinking and experience...
I work 4 different SP leagues here in town and my reputation is working it's way through the leagues.
I'm willing to talk about calls I've made or didn't make , the operative word is talk. I eject when appropriate and walk away when appropriate.
I got ,what I considered a compliment, from a manager of a higher end SP team. He told me I have the players confused. I replied "huh". He replied "They don't have any
experience dealing with a real umpire." Hurray for me
but not so good for the general state of SP umps in our area.
