Well, then that league is just setting umpires up to fail. Training is crucial, and to subject a rookie to that kind of situation without the proper training and guidance is just absurd.

I agree, and it is a sad thing to watch. This is my first year certified and in uniform. I have umpired for years on a volunteer basis. It amazes me how much some of these new "young" umpires think that they know. I'm not saying that "young" umpires can't know their stuff, I'm saying that experience is a big plus and you really only get that through time.
