The original post refered to YELLING "BACK, BACK" at the runner. This is a HTBT to determine the call. All I said was it could be under Fed rules. Other codes don't cover this. Just because you don't like a rule doesn't mean you don't enforce it if it is applicable. Personally, I don't like the DH. I still need to enforce the rule properly since the schools use it.

So, explain to me the "liability" about not calling verbal obstruction in a Fed game when a defensive player yells, "Back." I fail to see the connection, so I guess I'm at risk without even knowing..........
There are many things not enforced as per the written rule.
If you call a black and white book, you will be easy to pick out by all the $hithou$es occurring in your games.
Learning to umpire means learning how and when to call infractions. How well you are respected as an umpire will be based not only on your technical skills, but also on your ability to choose when to overlook small, technical violations that have little or no consequence on the game.
