I was one of those who bailed.

Me, too. When they fought to drop SB, I dropped my NASO / REFEREE membership and wrote them a letter of complaint. They sent me a follow-up then and a second follow-up when they reinstated SB. I have found the the personalized attention I get here on this board is better. I also trust you guys more than them at doing the research and getting it right. (Well, noting some of the threads at 3 and 4 pages, at least we eventually get it right. )

I wonder how much CC had to do with SB being dropped from NASO / Referee. I believe he has influence there. I appreciate CC's knowledge on baseball and still have a Referee article from about 95 where he discussed the balk rule. However, I find it difficult to tolerate some of his attitudes, even to the point that I no longer visit the officiating.com baseball pages.

(Also... a lesson from McGriff's... CC will steal your e-mail address, put it on a spam list and then defend his action as being perfectly ethical. This is why my profile here has my e-mail noted as it is.)
