Didn't say or imply that.

This is more in line with what I think has been said.
And, newer umpires, for whatever reason, tend to gravitate toward 1BX. They need to break that habit, get comfortable in 3BX and then get comfortable adjusting with the play (while still being set for the call). There just aren't enough tough calls at the plate to practice this and it's tough to simulate in any umpire clinic.
