okay, but help

I am assuming on these answers we are talking about SP game

Question #1. Yes

Question #2. I am assuming you meant you called it like you saw it and that is all you can do. Your UIC gave you the best advice and that is take your time, see the play, pause and then make the call for most situations.

Question #3. On a DP your easy call is usally going to be the one at 2nd. So try to get in position to make that tough call at 1st and make a BIG SELL call out or safe so everybody in the park knows you saw it well..


As for the players riding your A$$ that has and does happen to all of us. Experience will help because players usally can smell NEW blood. Listen to your UIC, other experienced umps and listen to the guys in this forum your umpiring days will become better by the day
