That's all . . .

Sorry Tim, but I work just as high, and ever higher levels games in "this area" as you do. This is NOT the "way it is done in our area". It may be the way YOU do it, but is NOT the way that is being taught by the association, or the college associations.

I have been to my share of camps conducted by NCAA umpires, some of the PAC 10 umpires who have NEVER shared anything like what you are saying about Oregon State, or any other school in the Pac 10. I know all the guys doing non-conference games too, and none of them have EVERY shared anything like what you are saying.

I hope you don't plan to share that kind of rubbish again this coming season IF you are allowed to work in the training aspect in our association. Some of your ideas are WAY out of line with the rest of the umpiring community!
