    How are we looking on umpires?  From what I’m hearing, it’s not good.  
     

    We about to have coaches calling underclass games from behind the mounds?

    44 signed up and about 37 active who will be able to call. 10 of those are brand new guys

    We sevice 45 school from hHgh Islamd to Onalaska over to Hemphill and down to Sabine Pass.

    We had 60 last year and could not cover all the games.

    You do the math

    We rarely say anything about the boys in the stripes, except maybe they are blind😉. I would like to bring up something though, in 1958 my uncle Beau Hicks joined the Southwest Officials Association, the precursor to todays Texas Association of Sports Officials, he served as Secretary, I believe President for a while, refereed in both High School and College games as well as ending his career as a recruiter for officials for the NFL. A few years after Uncle Beau started my dad, Wayne Hicks, joined as well, both of them served in virtually every position on the field as well as officiating basketball for awhile which I remember was not my dads' favorite. About 20 years after my Uncle joined my middle brother BJ Hicks joined TASO and has officiated just about every position on the field along with becoming one of the few caucasian officlas in SWAC for a few years. One of my cousins also tried it for awhile but didn't like it. Both my dad and my uncle have passed on leaving the legacy to my brother and this year will be my brothers' last year after close to 45 years running up and down the fields with all the young men. It seems odd to me knowing there will no longer be a Hicks out on that field but I would like to let you guys know that they all served with honesty and integrity. It takes a special man to give his time and his money (they pay yearly dues) and I have been lucky enough to have been related to several of them. 

    When beau stopped helping with the Beaumont chapter is when they started to go down hill.

    The direction the Beaumont chapter has taken soon they will be no more and will be taken over by the Houston chapter.

  6. UIL Rule Question

    My understanding is there’s no mercy rule for 11 man Football. So what is allowed and how does that work. Anytime after halftime coaches can agree to end contest? Are agree to just let the clock run? Coach wave’s across the field to the other coach  to say let the clock run? I noticed Newton was ahead big time at halftime, that triggered something. Also the Hemphill game they just let the clock run after the 3rd qtr. just a fan not a coach would like to understand what’s going on behind the scene with the coaches in games like this. 

    this is the rule: 

    Timing Adjustments—ARTICLE 2

    Approved Ruling 3-2-2

    I. At halftime the score is 56-0. The coaches and the referee agree that the third and fourth quarters should be shortened to 12 minutes each. The coaches also request that the second half be played with a “running clock,” i.e., that the game clock not be stopped. RULING: The remaining quarters may be shortened to 12 minutes each. However, the “running clock” is not allowed; normal clock rules apply for the entire game.

    That being said as long as both coaches agree they just run the clock in high school.

    Coach Carter is a great baseball coach as well as a great man. My son enjoyed playing for Carter and learned a lot about not only baseball but life. He is a great mentor for these young men at PNG.

    It was sarcasm. 

    When SC was hired by PNG all the PNG faithful complained that he was a FOOTBALL coach who also coached baseball.

    If you have ever been around SC or his family you would know he is a BASEBALL coach who also coaches football.

    PG.  Kid was 9 which makes the call that much more ridiculous.

     

    A balk is a delayed dead ball.  The other team chose a redo over taking the play which was an out. 

    Yes PG is a delayed ball but not in NFHS.

    Also I believe PG allows the hybrid stance which means the pitcher would not need to come set with no-one on.

    A few weeks ago we had an ump call a balk for not coming set with no runners on base. 
     

    Weak ground ball to the pitcher for an out.  Delayed balk called and got a redo.  Smoked a double next pitch.  
     

    Everything I’ve found says you can’t balk with no one on.  You can throw an illegal pitch, but if the batter is in the box you don’t have to come set.  Is that correct? 

    per NFHS rules if the pitcher in in the stretch position he has to come set no matter if their are runners on base or not.

    if he does don't come set this a illegal pitch (immediate dead ball) and a BALL will be awarded to the batter. with runners on this is a (illegal pitch) balk and a immediate dead ball.

    I know PG has some modifications to the NFHS pitching rules, was this a high school game or PG

    Mr. Ump,

    I have a question that was told to by a umpire and wanted to check:

    batter is in the box calls time and steps out of the box.... home umpire does NOT grant time and a legal pitch is thrown...

    I was told it is a automatic strike... I was also told that if the pitch is a strike it counts as 2 strikes... so if the batter has 1 strike already called on him.. and the pitch is in the strike zone.. it counts as strike 2 and 3 and the batter is out...

    IS THIS THE RULE??

    per NFHS rules

    “6.2.4 SITUATION I: With R3 on third base, F1 starts his pitching motion and B2 requests "Time," but the umpire does not grant "Time." B2 steps out of the batter's box with both feet and (a) F1 delivers a pitch, (b) does not deliver the pitch or (c) throws a wild pitch. RULING: (a) The umpire shall call two strikes on B2, one on the pitch, and one for stepping out of the box. In (b), the umpire shall call a strike on B2 for stepping out of the batter's box. The balk is nullified. In (c), two strikes shall be called on B2, one on the pitch and one for stepping out. The ball remains live. (7-3-1 PENALTY)”

    “7.3.1 SITUATION 😧 B1 steps out of the batter’s box (a) without requesting time, or (b) after he has requested time, or (c) fails to enter batter’s box within 20 seconds. RULING: In (a), the umpire shall call a strike if he feels B1 delayed the game. In (b), if the umpire grants time, the 20-second count will begin again as soon as the ball is declared “live.” If time is not granted by the umpire and B1 steps out of the batter’s box, a strike shall be called on B1 if he delays the game. In (c), the umpire shall call a strike. The pitcher does not have to throw a pitch.”

    If the pitch is thrown it will called a strike no matter where it goes. The second strike is not automatic but can be called if the umpire judges the batters actions to have delayed the game.

    So yes a batter with one strike on him will be called out on strikes if he steps out of the box, a pitch is thrown and he is judged to have delayed the game.
