College officials are too job scared to make an issue out of it. You can argue about comparing situations but we have no rule in HS ball holding the U over the ball anyway.

I don't see too many HS umpires allowing a kid to put their hands on them and doing absolutely nothing about it. Of course the white hat could have stepped in and helped out by blowing it dead but then I guess Jimbo is raising hell at him then.

First of all this is not HS. I do not care what HS officials would or would not do, because many HS officials would get themselves in a lot of trouble doing the things they do at the college ranks. And this is not about a particular player. I would not call this on any player based on the mechanics and based off of that level. For one I have never seen an official ever do what this guy did. Maybe that is because there is not a standardization of that 8th official or Center Judge, but not sure why he needed to stand right in the way of the center, substitution or not. I have seen umpires in 7 man stand over the ball, but never physically prevent a player from moving into an area or under center. And that IMO cause part of the problem and the official never reacted like he was offended or put off by the contact. If he was, then that is another story. But he also knows what was said to the Winston and his response. None of us here know what was said either way and that would affect my opinion of this situation if the right words were used.
