A memorable quote, that is!

I agree with what I take to be your main point - there is such a thing a over officiating - applying the rules with such exactness and technical correctness that it destroys the game for all fun purposes.

However, suppose the partner DID see the bat tip the ball? Should the PU, being unsure of his no-call, not ask unless a coach appeals, just to avoid opening a can of worms?

I say, "No." Ask. Just don't change it unless one of you is sure.
