Umpire Responsibilities

[Mike Simonds]

Yes, we always preach at least two officials getting a good look on each play and this puts the umpire in a variety of boxing-in-the-play positions with the H, L, S, F, B and R (depending on 4, 5, 6, or even 7 men crews). It may not be the U's primary responsibiity, but making eye contact with your fellow official is the best mechanic to practice before making the call.
