I could do USSSSSSSSSA and probably make more money but the umpires around here that I know that do are not what I aspire to be. The umpires that I see moving up i.e. college ball are the ones that are ASA/NFHS only.
There is some unsanctioned ball around here that I won't return the calls for and it's not for insurance if I get hurt, it's liability and I really like the roof over my family's head and the last time I asked they appreciate not being rained on.
My main problem with ASA is that they seem to sit idly by while the other organizations move in and take away teams and programs. No one monitors growth or contraction, or if they do, they fail to take action. If they want to stay the "premier" sanctioning body in softball they need to realize that they would be wee served to look beyond So Cal.

EXACTLY my thoughts....
I would be NICE to see ASA actually make an effort, instead of standing on its "governing body of softball" rhetoric. The lack of attention to the SP game has been shameful for years....
