This site should hae been developed, off line, for at least a year.

It is sad that they have "borrowed" way to much information and I hope they have formal permission to use the items.

AND BLACK pants . . . you have got to be kidding me.

Hey Tim, just want to let you know that we are not trying to teach veterans.

We just want to help out rookies and non-umpires who want to get started in the profession.

We asked the veterans for help. We're not trying to impress you guys, we just wanted to know what you thought would be useful for rookies.

Regarding "borrowed content," there are only two things we didn't create ourselves. The Rule Myths is something you can find all over the internet. With some of the useful feedback we've gotten we might be able to rewrite those to be more accurate.

And obviously, we didn't film all of those videos. But the formal permission to use the videos is part of how YouTube works...it is in their Terms of Service. When you put a video on YouTube, other people are allowed to embed it on other websites unless you specify otherwise.

We're not claiming to own the copyright to those videos. We're just using good 'ol YouTube in one of the ways it was intended.
