IMO, John Kurnat and the rest of the crew were not trying to take over AZ/TN game, and neither was the crew of FL/UCLA game. They were umpiring the game the way they were told to umpire the game by the NCAA WCWS staff and UIC.
Candrea should direct his comments at the NCAA, not the umpires. It was a cheap shot at Kurnat and the crew. Each time ESPN showed a shot of Candrea in Kurnat's ear and/or face about the IP's calls, Kurnat handled it in a calm professional manner. IMO Kurnat displayed integrity, level headneses, and guts.
I learned a lot just watching how Kurnat and the crew handled the whole. situation.
