Seriously though, as I watch each one I do critical thinking. Forget the call, what did the umpire do right in the clip (walk away, listen, hands behind the back) or wrong (confrontational, disinterested, belligerent). We watch eject clips at the NCAA clinics; these are refreshers to my mind.

I agree with Kyle directly about new umpires; however new umpires can watch the video and learn from our wise and informed(??) critiques of the clip.
My camps, clinics etc we watch and critique how ejections are handled, body language and how and when partners should get involved etc. I agree extremely useful. Too many of these seem to be for entertainment purposes only. Also what's done at the professional level is not always relevant when working a 12 or 13 years old games which a lot of these guys seem to be doing.
