Thanks for the civil response Bob. All you other Francises need to lighten up.

That doesn't make any sense to me - the only way you learn is to be able to debate the questions and rules - that's all a part of becoming a better umpire.
One of the most important things an umpire can do is to "use proper terminology" especially when you do have a play that requires you to "discuss" the rule with a coach etc.,
Learning to use the right terminology here on the boards should help you to remember that when you have a banger play and everyone is screaming and yelling for an explanation etc,
After this thread it should be easy to remember at least one thing - its not a force play. That can help especially a "newer" guy.
At least that's my take
Thanks
