    I didn't hear them say that but it was something like improving the retention of the umpires.

        The game is quicker now and this will reduce how fast and far umpires will need to run in a game.
        I think they also said that the bounce in the centre square will be gone as well.
        The one physical action the umps have to do and it is too hard for them. Pathetic. Another tradition wiped.

            I think it stays for the first bounce of each quarter but I get your point.

                So 4 bounces to muck up. In a year or 2 there will be none.

                    If I had to choose between an umpire that can bounce the ball well and one that can make good decisions I'm going with the latter.

                        Having the best decision makers is more important.

                            Maybe they could make the decision to practice their bouncing?
                            What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

                                But is that the best decision?

                                    The best decision is to reverse all the Hocking rules and minimise the number of decisions an umpire has to make.
