I just overheard something about this thought for sure that some one would know about this

Sadam should be gone he's not good for Umpires.......

Someone should take him over no one can like this guy hopefully He as to pay lots of $$$$$ and he quits!!!!!!!!

What's up with Zibelli? My understanding is that he assigns several NCAA conferences in the Eastern US. Don't know why a AAA guy would be talking to him as he would probably be busy with MiLB games all season.

I agree--Saddam was bad for umpires. He was bad for most everyone in his country.

Back to what we were discussing--I like SDSteve's pick, but then Celebur reminded me of "Dream On": I love that chorus! This is a tough call.

keyword is former. i know the guy. i have heard some rumblings about some things, but i haven't heard anything about retaining counsel. that, however, only means that i haven't heard, not that it hasn't happened. not sure what retaining counsel would do for him, though. saddam is an interesting beast. some of his umpires swear by him, some of them swear about him (not at him, cuz he'd yank their schedule...)

is the former AAA ump - CH?? if so, i think what happened was that he joined Nicks organization and then got stuck with a shxx schedule his first year and then quit. i'm sure he expected that his experience would allow him to bypass the regular route to primo D1 games. nicks controls all of the D1 in the northeast and 90% of D2 and D3. you work by his rules, or you don't work.

Except for an odd fill-in here and there I don't do college ball any longer and don;t have a dog in this hunt. I will say that from the information received from various sources that the should a case be filed in the right court for the right reasons Zibelli and CBUA would be toast.

That's as far as I'm going to go, at least until I'm sure that no close friends are going to be mixed up in any court cases.
