Geesh...Irish...we all know what a hard arse you profess to be (not that that is bad in some arenas)...that doesn't always fly for others...as long as an umpire can fulfill their responsibilities to the game and their partners...why not let people percieve you in a positive manner or think well of you?Even with that belief, meeting routinely eliminates such perceptions. And midway on the lines lets you hear things you might not want to hear!! It is the rare meetings that will throw up a red flag and make a coach wonder what their problem may be.



I'm with Top, just do the damn job. The minor stuff should be routine and take care of itself. [/COLOR]YEP!! Should.[/COLOR]

An evaluator should be observing the entire umpire, not looking for CS issues to nitpick.

Kinda like what "type" of hammer mechanic is executed?

Sometimes the CS things separate umpires...for instance let observers know who has read the manual and who hasn't bothered? Making the CS issues part of the entire umpire!!
