I would hope that any umpire who has attended an NCAA regional clinic in the past 2-3 years or is familiar with the manual and current teachings and philosophies would aknowledge that. The X marks the spot days are over and have been for a couple years. The promotion of a "thinking-adjusting" umpire is prevelant and extremely effective in my opinion.

I wasn't referring to NCAA or any other particular association.
