Okay, do it your way, but this isn't just my "point". It is ASA's point. I wouldn't doubt if it is shared by NCAA, but I am not qualified to make that leap.

BTW, you keep referencing experienced umpires. Experience does not equal good or right. I'm familiar with plenty of umpires with enormous amounts of experience and many barely leave the plate, wear a proper uniform, attend clinic and schools, etc.

I'll take a good rookie who has attended all available clinics and schools over an "experienced" umpire anytime.
