To paraphrase some others on this board, if you have people in your association that are refusing to make the tough calls, ask them why they are taking the money for the job that they do. Let them know that umpiring is not about choosing which rules to apply and which not to, it is about enforcing the rules. Not doing so constitutes fraud of sorts when they are taking the money and not doing the job. The only choice they have is to do it by the book or to not do it at all.
Good luck!
