Well, not even to that good of an extent as we are lucky to get 2 of 10 to pass. If we get 4 of 10, we think we hit the lottery. That means that nearly 80% of those caught still believe they can get by it.

And I will still stand on the point that if an umpire is alone with a child, something is wrong and no check of any type is going to prevent that.

BTW, I believe it should be pointed out that the entire episode which led to this heightened awareness this year had absolutely nothing to do with softball or players, ASA, HS or otherwise.

Then again, if we did BIs on everyone who is permitted a level of responsibility, there would be a very large, empty buildings between the D Streets in the center of DC
