nobody called timeout!!!

Why would you put the officiating crew in a predicament that is just aiming for trouble? Is not the PU the UIC for that game? No way am I not calling time to dust off the plate. Preventive umpiring 101.

When I coached, we would instruct our players that if you are on third and did not hear "time" when the PU dusted the plate, take off. You would be surprised how many different officials didn't understand what was going on and how many times we scored because the officials didn't control the game.

Take control of your game and prevent this before it happens. If your ego prevents you from doing this because you believe its your partners job, then remember when he looks bad and blows it, you both look bad.

I'm being pro-active and preventing it. "TIME"
