NCAA Speed UP Question

[whiskers_ump]

Scott,

Steve is correct. AFA adopted NCAA's rules almost to the
letter. Another thing I am beginning to like is that in or
for intereference to be called, you just about have to have
contract. Naturally there are many forms of interference,
but AFA UIC's [all I have worked for] always make mention of
the fact that you must have contact for interference to be
called. The mere fact that a batter will bring the bat way
back towards the catcher to slow her attempt to throw out a
runner is not interference unless contact. The mere fact that
a base runner slows in front of a defensive player attempting
to field a batted ball is not interference unless runner is waving
arms or skipping back and forth. I called interference on a runner
for slowing and remaining in front of defender until just before
the ball reached her. The defender had lost sight of the ball and
it bounced up and hit her in the neck. My UIC did not like my
judgment on the call, but finally agreed that this type of disruption
had to be called. I also ejected her for USC....

BTW, Yankees will play Cubs in series......
