Does that stop the coaches from coming out and questioning your judgment? Are college coaches allowed to come out and question and discuss the play?

What we really need is some empirical evidence as to the effectiveness of a safe signal in eliminating discussions between the coach and ump.

Obviously it is accepted and used at the college level but at that level you should see the play, be expected to see the play and all participants should expect a priori that blue is looking at that play. Thus, a no int/obs call indicates his/her judgment.

I'm left with it's a college thing. Just how they do it.



Maybe the distance will make them think about it but I am not sure it will stop them.
