Lots easier.

Apparently not after watching the NCAAs.

However, it really wasn't that much of an issue to begin. Many umpires, and it is taught, to give the batter the benefit of any doubt.

The only reason it became an issue is because some coach got a burr up his/her *** when his/her player did not benefit from trying to get a free ride.
