Heres my new philosophy angle I've been working on thanks to another umpire.
"Coach, this umpire doesn't make calls. That happened, I just pointed it out."
To me, there is an epiphany there.
That doesnt mean OOO by any stretch, because that I hate - but there is a line that runs down OOO and the exact reason they pay us to be out there.
Yep sometimes you gotta take appropriate directed heat because --it happens.
