You are going to get dinged because the book says with Runners on 1 and 2 in a 2 man system on a ball hit here and a play there, you be in Z position.

And if that is the case, the NCAA needs to do a better job with those they allow to make such evaluations whether at the local association or higher levels of authority.

As we all know, the idea is to get it right and the mentality you describe here seems to be placing appearance above the game. IMO, that is unhealthy for the game and the umpires, in general.
