I was reviewing the new (mechanics)Officials Manual and noted diagrams 9 and 11 on pages 25 and 26...
What is the difference in the situations shown in these two diagrams?
11 seems to say that the lead should definitely come across the key to cover the ball. The lead now has primary coverage.
9 says...? He doesn't have to come across? as in days past. Primary coverage still belongs to the Trail?
Diagram 9 was in the 2001-2003 Manual. Diagram 11 is new this year.
I personally didn't attend a camp this summer but it appears that the proper mechanics have taken a change for the better and that diagram 9 ought to be removed.
Will someone in the know please straighten me out here? Thanks!
