Umpire INT, Rule Clarification?

When the accepted practice is 180 degrees from the written rule, yes. Good post.

When the ruling in every code and the accepted practice in NCAA all line up, commion sense should prevail. Are you saying that you really would have ruled otherwise in a D-1 game had you not chatted with the instructors at your camp?

I had the impression you had more experience than that.

No I wouldn't have done anything (including 'fess up to my INT) unless I deprived the defense of a chance at an out. Then I would probably have a do-over, except for the pitch. I was just bothered by the words in the rule book. I'm anal about that stuff, probably overly so sometimes.

It's always better to err on the picky side.
