If you're using numbers or names,fer sure you're gonna hear from the opposing coach- "How many damn warnings are you gonna give him?You're killing us out here!". Not much you can say in reply,is there?

Sure there is: "Same number of warnings that I give to your players, coach!"

Yeah right I'll be lucky if I make it back for any of the season. It's hotter than well ... 77 consecutive days of 100 plus-- it dipped into the 90s a couple of days or we would be a 100--- only another 23 for the 100 club..

I just say "outta the lane blue, outta the lane" as calmly as I can. They know exactly who you're talking about.

It depends upon the level of game.
If it's a varsity game, I likely won't say anything more than once to either team. once you call it, they'll get the message.

Sorry to hear you're not back yet. You can email off of this address.

I have to agree that even hitting a cow out by West Desert is better than what you're doing.

I believe it is a great game management technique. Especially if this hasn't been called all night. If you start the game with calling 3 seconds, you have to continue.

I feel in any sport preventive officiating is best. Even in baseball, if a player makes more of a "technical" balk, depending on the age, I will give him a warning. If he does it again I will call him on it. Same goes for the other player. He may do something different but as long as he has not gained a big advantage, a warning should suffice the first time.

A lot of umps feel that way, particularly bottom of the 16th, bases jammed and two out.

I didn't think that good umps let games go to the bottom of the 16th

That's a fact, Coach.
But, occasionally, the players aren't as good as we had hoped.

A really good ump will walk in a winning run if he/she has to!
