Well, I certainly feel better now. I was reading down through the posts, wondering when someone would pick up on the interference reference. All the advice was excellent on the new umpire and working with him, I just couldn't figure out why the interference statement was corrected.
Leave it to Mike to correct the situation.  After looking at this, this guy IS clapping his hands, isn't he, instead of doing something else?

Update on our new umpire. Gave him another shot last night, schedule for 2 games - 6 and 7:30, working with me. 6:00 ... no blue. Working alone. Fun. 7:15 rolls around, and there he is. "Sorry, Mike - got stuck at work. Called you at work around 5:50, but you weren't there." 1) Yeah, dumba$$ - I was at the field by then. 2) My phone shows when I miss a call, even if you don't leave a message - you didn't call.
Well, the 2nd game is the older girls, so I grudgingly let him on the field. Reteach the A,B,C's, including the why's. Teach him where to move when the ball is hit. Newbie is a treestump when the game starts - stuck in A. 1/2 inning goes by, and I remind him that not only should he move when the ball goes in play, but he should start in different places depending on where the runners are. He moves a little bit this time. Luckily, we have a forfeit on the other field, so I go 3 man on mine. Well, sort of. We go 2 man, with an added treestump of an umpire planted on the foul side of 3rd base, regardless of who's on base and where the ball is hit (even called a baserunner safe from back there on a passed ball - at least he moved his arms). We actually had, at many times, me at home, 1BU in B or C position, and 3BU in D position. Glad the UIC wasn't there ... oh wait - that's me. Feeling perturbed, after an inning where the only baserunner was a walk, passedball to 2nd, passedball to 3rd, and 3 outs (the runner on 3rd never left), I go ask him - did you notice the runner missed third? (The runner never had a chance to miss third). He says "Yes, but I didn't know if I should say anything." It was a nice last day for him.
