I did it. So I got the authority from somewhere. I think it's called assumed authority. Your speaking strictly to expressed authority. And I agree that I overstepped my expressed authority, but it worked so well that given similar circumstances I'll do it again. I know the rule. I'm not arguing. But it's a great way to disarm the coach and an easy sell.

Oh my god. Please stay the hell away from the ballfield in the future. There's no place for umpires with this attitude.

Please, don't give me your better than though attitude.
You ignore rules all the time
What's the difference?

the pro umpires miss between 2 - 4 pitches on average per game...so for somebody to say 10-15 pitches missed at amateur levels...is probably fairly realistic...although missing 10 - 15 pitches per game does seem like a lot as I continue to type...oh well...get better each time out...
