Whether I thought it looked good, right, or not, etc.....I would not go on the field in the middle of a game (what I am gathering from the wording), or go to him just before a game, and tell him period not to use a balloon protector.
That is his decision as an umpire as to what to use for protection. Furthermore, the UIC had to have known prior to this tournament, that this umpire used a balloon type protector, thus I think there is an underline issue between these two that people may not know about.
From what you posted...........it sounds a power trip shot by the UIC.
