mandating "going for help" is just a waste, especially at lower levels. Some times the batters barely twitch and they want to go for help. "Recommending" is better than mandating to leave open the door for umpire discretion depending on the situation.

going to the BU on the line i meant, was the "mandated" part... and I was only thinking about NCAA (not the lower levels)... I shouldn't have used that word... my bad.
