I've tried in the past with certain Smitties, only to be told that they were going to do it their way. I've attempted to correct some really bad umpiring traits, only to get my head bitten off by the old dog. Kudos to you for your success in this area. The ones I've ran into were too set in their ways to listen to good advice.

I would add that in this case (Tuss being a 21-year old youngun'), its doubly difficult for old Smittys, set in their ways, to be open-minded to young folks offering advice. Mule-headedness is one thing that makes a Smitty a Smitty
