Mike, Again thanks for replies. This thread started as an ASA girls fastpitch question, and the answers from the "Old Timers" vary slightly as I presumed they would. The baseball was added as an extra, because this is where I have encountered coaches on the mound during half innings. I have not been allowing it mainly because we have 90 minutes to play 6 innings, this can slow things up. If the coach has not done his job in practice sessions, he aint gonna get it done between innings! I think application on these points will help me in both ASA, and Dixie. Yes there are differences, but there are generalities which I can apply to both. RE my training, this forum is great, as well as clinics, and on the job training. I have coached for years, and started thi season calling, it aint as easy as it looks! I am drawing from EVERY avenue available and take it from there. I too have seen some senior officials call in a way which I hope never to do. My aim is learn from all, get it right, be fair and consistant, and do better next game than the last. I judge my performance on my performance only, and never try mimic another. BTW 4-6-C, second sentence, is as clear as mud, can you translate?
