Is there no rule about calling schools from you home conference at the WCWS? He was U3 last night for the Alabama/ASU game (I think)...had a good game but I was surprised he was there since he is on staff w/ SEC.

No there is not.
The umpires selection for the WCWS are made prior to the Super Regionals so there is no way of knowing which conferences will be in the final eight. Also many umpires at that level work multiple major DI conferences.
I guess the plate shoes weren't a career ender.
