Perhaps this should be a new thread but since it deals directly with the coach "physically assisting" the player I will post it here.
I was doing 11-12 year olds that were not very good. R1, a deaf girl, was at first. A fly ball is hit to F9 and 3B coach sees F9 will not catch it so starts yelling, "Run". R1 is "tagging up" and just watching F9. 1B coach, a player, starts also jumping up and down yelling, "Run." R1 is deaf and does not hear the yelling, nor does she run.
1B, going into fair territory slightly, gets R1's attention and then R1 starts running.
Later I related the story to my brother, a non-umpire sports type, and he asked what I would have done if the coach had tapped R1. I said, "I doubt I would have seen that." (wink-wink-nudge-nudge, if you know what I mean.)
What would you have done if you had seen a tap?
