No it's not, I started the thread and know what I wrote. The basic tenet of umpiring is make the proper call, not make the best call you can and live with it. Coaches and players have the right to complain when we kick calls. We have the ability to control their actions. We also have the ability to correct many of our calls. This dialogue was all about informing Gordon0307 of what we think are appropriate calls to correct. You should read the first paragraph again.

You are treading water all alone here. It's raining and the forecast calls for more of the same. You shouldn't have jumped ship so soon.

Let me rephrase the statement. This discussion has turned into another whether we ask for an appeal because the coach has a complaint or makes and issue of a play. I am saying it should not. You can disagree and that is fine.

Peace
