NCAA/ACC Umpires do not seem to have the same “get it right” attitude that MLB umpires have come to gain. During the game, several calls regarding bats across the plate were questionable, and only one request for assistance to the base umpire was issued. This includes UNC batters as well. The play at first where the fielder was off the bag when the ball was caught also was not sought for clarification to the second base umpire, who had a better look at the base. At no time during the game was there a gathering of even two umpires to discuss a call. The call against Tre may have been seen by the first base umpire, so why not ask? I don’t often get angry at umps, unless there is an obvious over-abundance of calls against a team. But when the entire gathering of fans of one team jumps up immediately upon an obvious missed call, it would seem to be beholding to the umpire to ask for assistance, you would think. What’s wrong with asking???
