Overturning Your BU

[mcrowder]

All newbies can learn how to officiate if they CARE, and if they put forth the EFFORT.

After two lazy calls on the runners leaving early, he'd have gotten a short, but to the point, discussion that he'd better hustle, pay attention, and put forth some effort, or I'd be calling the game myself.

As to the overrule - since you left him there, he's in charge of that call. If he appealled to me, there would be a discussion, not an overrule. I'd tell him what I saw, but it's his call to overrule, not yours. And no, I don't believe "bad call" is a good enough reason to change a call. Pulled foot, swipe-tag, etc - something BU truly couldn't see from his angle - and you have an appropriate reason to tell him to change his call. Just a mistake - no.
