I disagree because "black balling" or "red lining" of umpires by coaches is on it's way to being a thing of the past in college baseball - atleast here in the Midwest (Big Ten, MAC, Horizon conferences etc.) The Supervisor of Officials in this area has been trying to eliminate this unfair tactic by coaches and has been doing an excellent job in doing so.

I am not talking about scratching umpires. I am saying you will not be back because you cannot do the job. That is totally different than a coach not wanting you to come back to his school. But I know people that worked games at all level, screw up and find themselves not working any more or very little. I cannot speak for the D1 conferences, because I have no idea or real desire to work them in the game of baseball.

Peace
