i see this has touched a few nerves, if i stepped on any toes i apologize, im sorry for wanting my guys too be the best, being good takes hardwork, currently im a ncaa baseball official and i can tell you this, if my interpreter tells me something, i best adhere to it or i will be busted back to doing pony league games on tuesday and wednesday, so being and excellent official is hardwork and sometimes you have to make changes you do not like.

So what you're saying is that being better means listening to you, regardless of how stupid or trivial your "advice" is? Are you going to bust people back to youth ball if they don't follow your every whim?

I am also a college baseball umpire. And 99% of being a good baseball umpire involves calling pitches well and having good game management skills. If you are in a conference where being deferential to the assignor is the most important skill, I feel sorry for you.

I feel more sorry for the officials in your association.
