To correctly measure a mound you need engineering tools. Slope of field and other oddities can cause a "mound" to look taller than it is. You may consider yourself an "expert" since you once coached I would suggest otherwise.

In the Portland area we had a school that "everyone" complained about the mound height. The OSAA and the league the team played in hired an engineer and the mound was found in compliance with the rules.

As an umpire it is not your responsibility to decide if a mound is legal or not.

Simply tell the offended team to file a complaint with the league.

You have enough real issues to deal with.
