Some people don't get this so I just wanted to make this note:

NCAA - Most players are legal adults and are responsible (okay, SUPPOSED to be responsible) for their own actions and options.

NFHS - Students, many minors, playing on the school district's clock and dime. This make the school liable for the welfare of the student during this period.

ASA - Purely volunteer playing on their own time and dime. It is the umpire's discretion and to be honest, unless it is a piece which can cause injury to another participant, I really don't care. I know, the attitude is a bit callous. However, it is time the umpire is not the one to be signaled out as a designated babysitter, only to be maligned should a player sustain an injury brought on by the oversight or ignorance of a player, their coach and/or parents.

JMHO,
