And that is sad, but apparently, I've never run into any of them. Well, I take that back. I've run into some, but not as an umpire. And when I would send an umpire to work for that type of UIC, I would warn them ahead of time how to deal with them.

Guess I must have been lucky in my assignments, clinics and schools. But there is nothing in the manual nor clinic guide telling an umpire to go to a spot and make the call.
