Anyone that knows they are going on TV and goes on TV anyway (which this entire process is obvious they are going to be on TV) is going to get criticized. If you do not want to be criticized, then do not go on TV. If these are "volunteers" then they are volunteering to be on TV. Having been on TV several times myself I did not seek that opportunity, but knew it was realistic if I was going to accept certain assignments or work in the post season. And anything you do on TV is subject to criticism. It comes with the territory. But unlike a situation where I have been on TV, I did not know for sure I would even get the opportunity. These umpires knew they were going to be on TV somewhere in this day and age. If it were me I would do things to not look like I do not know what I am doing. I know it is Little League, but the adults cannot be that naive to think no one is watching.
