Can you provide some examples of what you perceive us to be "scared" to change? Maybe it can be addressed in a couple weeks.

Their mechanics options, compared to what the NCAA now offers, are almost becoming a joke,

Really? Tell us what makes you laugh.

to the point that this will be the first time in my 15 years as an umpire that I won't be registering with them and I fail to see why people put up with their restrictions in terms of what umpires can do on the field.

And after 45 years of umpiring, a few 20+ years with ASA, other than issues that would place an umpire in jeopardy, I have no idea to what you are talking about. But that's me.

BTW, welcome
