You are missing my point about why I did what I did. I was trying to give the coach the explanation about the baserunning rules, in which case I did correctly. My partner called him safe and he was correct, because of how his baseline was established after he rounded third, and also trying to avoid the collision. He came to me for verification and I gave it to him, which I don't mind doing in this league, and have to do quite often. I have called college ball in one of the best college associations around- midsouth collegiate, and I know what I am doing, but like I said - in some leagues you have to break away from traditional umpire techniques, as long as you get the call right, and are professional.
