At that level, I agree with you. I did state NFHS and LL in my reply (and that applies to most orgs below MLB / MiLB / NCAA)

As in most things, we do what our supervisors want.

Especially if we want to continue to working for them.

What would you do if your supervisor wanted you to yell "Steeerike three yer out!" and jerk your thumb skyward on a swinging 3rd strike? Calling dead ball is equivalent to that.

Well ... if my STATE supervisor said that... I'd do it. Not that he would. Then again, if he said to do it, and everyone did it ... would it still be weird?

If my local guy told us to use a mechanic so bad I had an issue with it, I'd probably mention it to the next guy up the chain (honestly ... someone else would before me, in all likelihood), and it would get fixed.
