respect

Jim: I agreed with until the I don't offer opinions unless asked. When I'm in the senior umpire talking to junior I will give advice freely and explain what I think I may have done wrong. Some new guys are afraid to ask higher level guys questions. Personally I will ask in a heartbeat what my partner thought of how I did. The only way newer guys are going to get better is if we help them. Also you quickly find out who is teachable and who is going to do it their way no matter.
