As a UIC/assignor/evaluator, I am only concerned with the performance of that umpire. If he stands in, stays still when necessary, and has a solid zone without being ball shy, then it isn't my issue.

I understand what you are saying, but how fair is it to your umpires when your plate guy goes down with a rib or collarbone injury and you have to fill in for him the rest of the day with one less umpire or down to 2 umpires trying to cover NCAA D-1 simply because he/she chooses not to wear protection?
