I agree that in the past the NCAA consisted of a leadership that mostly promoted another affiliations mechanics, since that was their upbringing, and if they wanted to change anything they drove their point home in a robotic manner.
I think that it has changed dramatically in the past 2-3 years...to the SUIP's credit. And I also agree that the softball umpire manual is excellent in allowing a thought process to supercede x's and o's type robotic movements.
