Reply to "Power Hungry Umps"

No one is suggesting "get over it" as in ignore it and pretend it didn't just happen.
Rather, check how you respond, and do it in a professional manner.

You'd be surprised. When you calmly request time, approach the umpire that made the ruling, explain, "I believe that is an incorrect application of the rules". I would appreciate it if you would consult with your partner, otherwise I will protest this application.

Any umpire (should) accept that as the correct and proper approach.

Rules applications are by far the toughest to master in any officiating discipline.

In BB, the big 6 anyone can comprehend, the miriad of rules will take time.
Sometime's an official protest or the promise of one is the way to do your part in educating those less knowledgable than yourself.
