This all started when I just wanted an opininon or explanation on what some other umps would have ruled. That way I knew my partner got the call right. Pete told me I needed to go to clinics, which I have to several. You guys start freakin out on me. I am not trying to convince anybody of anything, I have called college ball for 10 years, a few D1 non conference games, but mostly NAIA and JUCO. I had great evaluations, but I coach High School ball so I just do summer and fall ball now. Lighten up fellas.

Thanks for all the advice, that is why I joined the boards.

IMO, no-one "got on you"

Your OP was very confusing to say the least. You started your OP saying you made a call on a play that belongs to the PU. All indications in your opening post indicated to me and I believe others as well that you in FACT had the dish.

Then later on you tell us that were the BU.

IMO, that's where others includes myself started questioning you.

Even though it's fall ball I cannot understand why you as BU made a call that does not belong to you or try to explain your partners call to a coach. It doesn't make any sense and as mentioned was very confusing.

Therefore, no one was getting on "your case" just questioning your mechanics based upon your description of events.

The thing about internet boards is that anyone can claim to be anything. In the end, how one handles oneself will prove that one is what one says one is. Case in point--in the OP, you ask a question about something that SHOULD have been covered in a first-year rookie clinic. That you needed to ask opinions here on this call will tend to make people question your credentials.

Moving along, and giving you the benefit of the doubt, if the particular league you were officiating expects you to teach the rules to coaches as you go, then I have no issue with that part (except that he first questioned the PU, didn't like what he heard, and THEN came to you). But keep it short, simple, and accurate (there was no tag attempt, so there cannot be an infraction for running outside the baseline).

And yes, welcome to the board.

Your intitial post was that of a neophyte. Now you claim to be a 10 year vet of college ball. Those two bits of information do not and will not mesh.

Most likely you are either a troll, or a phony.
