Crow hop is never called!

Apparently, YOU aren't listening & following the RULES... I can & do read do you read the rule book? As you freely admit, Leaping/hopping are still, at this time, against the rules & until the powers that be make it legal, blue, you should call it & bring a little credability back to the game of softball, that's all I'm saying! Why does it seem we're picking & choosing the rules we're going to follow & not following the rules as they presently stand? Girlie ball!?Untilyou step up to the plate & call the infractions of hopping & leaping, the Cat Hopperman & A. Hopperwell jokes will continue! What a joke!

Umpires call what they are told to call, not take it upon themselves on what to call on any given day.

It is not unusual as certain tournaments to be told to only call the terribly obvious violations, or not call it at all. In others, depending on the host's wishes, the umpire may be asked to make sure they call every little thing.

I believe it was noted earlier that the NCAA wants the BU to concentrate on the runners as their priority. What does that tell you?

Besides, I wouldn't doubt if the leap was dropped from the book in the next year or so. The men have already done away with it and the women seem to want the same.
