I guess this was not very clear.

BTW, first post of the entire thread in response to the OP.

What would have been clean, simple and clear is:

"The plate umpire has primary responsibility for running lane interference."

What a shame that this thread was simply miscommunication. I'm really going to miss it.

Why would that have been any clearer? It is obvious that to some "primary" means "only" in this conversation. In every other sports officiating discussion it is understood that if someone has a "primary" someone else has a "secondary." And you do not get people normally saying that one person should "always" have a call and the other should just die if they even think to make a call that would be "correct."

I do not understand why I had to be so clear, when it was obvious I disagreed with a specific point. If I said what I believed you would have accepted that anyway? I doubt that seriously.
