At least not through the 2005 season, which is the latest I can comment about. The old "belly button to the bottom of the knee with a wide corner" is still the preferred zone around these parts. Call high strikes and wind up scratched by the top schools.

Perhaps it has changed in the past couple of years (I thought you had retired?).
I know it has changed here and at the NCAA level -- call more "high" strikes
