That's okay, 'cause I don't believe anyone who needs to point is much of an umpire. For that matter, let's talk about the "dead" ball hyprocy in baseball. Quite a few, including instructors at high levels, mock softball and any umpire that rules a ball dead, yet the baseball rules routinely refer to a ball being "alive". Hmmmm.......we cannot have a dead ball, but they can have one that is alive.
