One is, and I know this is NCAA, but U1 is so close to 1B with a runner on, if he fell down, he would cover the base with his waist.

Second is the uniforms just look "dingy". Shirts are blue, but extremely light in tone

NCAA mechanic is now 6-10. In the past, they stressed the 6' as the preferred end of that scale (was 6-9, but you know how a new regime has to make a change .......).

Setting up at 6 feet makes me feel like I could reach out and touch the runner. I don't like it. I work as far back as I can while still being "tight" to the base...tough to explain in words, easy to do on the field.

I do know what you mean and agree.
