thanks....When I'm the "Rookie" on the field it is sometimes hard when my experienced partner hasn't studied the rule book(s) as hard as I have. I totally find umpiring to be fascinating & I really strive to get every call right.
In a situation like these rare calls, if my partner has made a ruling I know is incorrect...do I QUIETLY correct him on the field and make the play right or do I talk with him/her after the game? It hasn't happened yet. What is the protocol if a situation like this comes up?
As a coach I always had the rule book(s) with me in my "score book/stats case".....as an umpire I WILL NOT carry it with me to the field. I've been told it is up to the disgruntled coach to show me in the book that I am wrong.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
