You are always going to have different opinions.
Mine is that it is easier to move and adjust to a developing play from the back of the RHB than 3BL. I find that the 3BL relies on the runner to come in from an angle or the catcher reach for a tag. A runner with a straight-in slide, and/or a catcher using a drop and block will may block, but that's just me.
I like the ASA/NFHS starting point.....and that is all it is, a starting point. It isn't anything new. Umpires who don't understand that a starting point isn't anything more need to go to a school or clinic. Those who have been and still don't understand that either weren't paying attention, had a lousy instructor or just didn't care.
