dumbdumb Posted May 18 Report Posted May 18 Missed this one. Found out at referee dot com MLB umpire area observer for years. MLBU would have known him well. Most people would know him as an NCAA hoops official in his day and then as head of all NCAA basketball officiating. however, baseball was his original sport as a collegiate player (catcher naturally) and then in minors. https://villanova.com/news/2026/3/28/general-villanova-mourns-the-loss-of-hall-of-fame-official-hank-nichols.aspx https://www.legacy.com/legacy/henry-nichols Quote
BigBlue4u Posted May 21 Report Posted May 21 Every once in a while, a superstar official comes along. Hank is one of them. He had one of the best pieces of advice I have heard when it comes to officiating. When something crazy happens, or when you are are stumped about something, ask yourself, "What is the spirit and intent of the rule." 1 Quote
