You call a dead ball, the coach says it was a dead ball and your partner says it was a dead ball. All of you are Right. ITS A DEAD BALL. I agree , not because it hit the ground but, it was a dead ball.

Just being a dumb, " so-called experienced umpires that work FED & D-3 games", I would try some tact next time and explain why it was dead ball, instead of sounding overly arrogant. But what do I know.
I did explain to the HC why it was a dead ball. He thought that any ball that hits the ground from the pitcher is dead. I guess the BU thought the same. I wasn't overly arrogant in anything I did on the field. No one raised their voices during the discussion, I guess you HTBT.

It seems to me that alot of the replies to posts on this site are arrogant, but what do I know.
