Thanks Rich and Tim. Well spoken.
I really don't mind the direction the game is going. I was taught the "old way" and did well with it. I find the current game a challenge, one that keeps me sharp, to move and adapt as necessary. The college game does not have as much technology bearing own on it so expectations about what should be called vary. It is the art part and I relish working on it.
I had a coach this season in my face telling me "you can't call him safe the ball was there!". He came out later and apologized, admitting his third baseman was late with the tag. After the game one of my partners told me "You still kicked it. The ball was there." I'm fine with what I called.

Mike I do give you credit for your stance. But don't ascribe your reasons for what I do.
