As an umpire in multiple sports, I've got to correct you there.  Or ... 
perhaps you could correct us?

You see, it's commonly said in sporting folklore that, if both sides 
hate the neutral umpire, he must be doing everything right.  If one side 
loves him and the other doesn't, well ... we've got a problem.

Tell you what, if you can get yourself to Canberra, Australia, I can 
arrange a series of lectures for you to give to my softball umpires. 
How's that sound?
