Seems to me that your association may be underestimating the abiity of the membership.
If we are challenged, we'll answer.

I don't know - that was told to us during a meeting of 1-3 year officials. I'm sure a lot of the older guys do it anyway.

It's actually the opposite. A lot of the OLDER guys don't think you can ever cross the lane. Hell, most of them are still thinking how wonderful it was to work in the Cadillac and crossover during the live ball to get in it.

Rather than tell you not to do it, perhaps they should be teaching how to do it.

I just go with what they say since they're the ones that decide when and if I move up or not.

So following the proper mechanics can keep you from moving up?

I'm happy I don't have to deal with that since I don't receive any games from an association.

We have a meeting this weekend so I'll ask about it.

In which state do you reside and work HS ball?
