That's the point I was trying to make. I agree totally. You have to watch R3for a squeeze, you have to watch R2 for obstruction ....

Maybe i've just done this too long, but you can't have tunnel vision and be a good umpire. Now a newbie I can understand, but if you're not watching the game, you're going to miss something sooner or later.
