Essentially its hustling yourself out of position. In mine for example, I paralelled (sp) the developing bunt and defensive crash instead of maintaining on the line and as a result I did not have my "cool" - he said I looked like I was fielding the bunt (I bet I woulda got em out too). You can't be seen as running around like a chicken with your head cut off - an umpire must always be cool and in complete control. Hustle - dont over hustle. You dont need to be speedy gonzalez, you need to be smart.
If you run like Speedy Gonazalez and get 4 feet from a tag play when you should be at 8-12 feet from a tag play - you over hustled.
