I wasn't asking about what you did, but what you didn't do that people complained about! Not calling the high "strike" is one of the most common complaints I get at the 12U or so level. Heck, I was watching a colleague umpire an 18U game last weekend where "dad" was loudly bitching because pitches at chin high weren't called strikes! (Maybe he was the pitcher's dad?)
