Karen,
At the 2nd time a coach questions my zone, (s)he get a warning (ISF Rule 10, judgement call). At the moment
my vision problem is brought up, (s)he's gone. No matter what, even with or without that warning I about judgement call's! No-one questions my neutrality, nor is a coach yelling at me. Slamming equipment on the ground is also reason for have the best view at the field from the lockerroom or (as you all say) from the parkinglot...
However it starts with
preventing umpiring;
If I'm alone, my plate-conf. is a long one. I explane that I'm alone, can't see it all. If they wanna play, with only one ump. the consequense is: Don't argue with me... Mostly coaches tend after that to be rexaled. If not, not my problem anymore
