There is a lot of things to remember in umpiring.

Your "newbies" are working 3 man mechanics?

I should have posted newbies to the 3 man system.

The change includes the literal words "U1 still has trouble balls from F8 to the line" (or something like that) (and, yes, i recognize the irony of using "lieteral" and "something like that" in the same sentence)

Communicate, communicate,communicate, this is a big ticket item for NCAA.
This is a logical minor adjustment, but they (NCAA) want communication on every play. Dont forget Bob, when JJ or I work with you, you have all fly balls.

I was (am) a newbie to 3-man. The rotation, and coverages sank in after doing it several times.
