I agree with you, JRut. And to take it a step further, if I've got a player who's been playing like a goon hockey enforcer, I won't think twice about giving that player their 5th. It's about making...

A player could actually say, "In our last game, they didn't call that!" and they'd be right ... and not lying! :D

Umpires generally stay out of trouble on most plays. It's not "most plays" where a helmet would come in handy. It's those once-a-season plays we need to think about.

I appreciate the comments.

In this area, there is a shortage of umpires. Additionally, the schools do almost all of their own hiring. The schools also know when the schedule a JV game behind a V...

If the coach did not inform you that the DP was going in on defense for the FLEX at the pregame conference, then you cannot allow a CR for the DP. It's too late. The HC had to make that known...
