I'm not Tuss, but basically this book covers everything about umpire behavior, movement, responsibilites, actions, objectives, calls and mechanics from the time an umpire arrives at a game until he leaves.

This book is to the redbook what the JEA is to the rulebook.

I'd say that's about right.

I'm sure that there are some slight differences in some mechanics between PBUC material and Evans material for 2 man. Some slightly different stuff on rundowns, for example. If I sat side by side with the two I'm sure you would find more, but that's not where the gem in this book is.

I think Evan's stuff has a bit more philosophy in it, or behind it, as well. After reading it, I feel like I just walked out of a classroom at a Camp.
