So far this year the biggest thing has been OBS. Coaches
nor players understand that when called, that the runner
in question is now protected. They see a runner that was
OBSD going on to another base and being put out. Coaches
first question is usually "Blue, she went beyond her pro-
tection." Situation: BR OBSD running first, umpire
signals, runner goes on to 2B thrown out by a mile. She is
returned to 1B. Coaches have argued that she went beyond
the protected base. Had this twice this year. [/B]

It's bad enough to not know the rule, but also be capable of reading the umpire's mind!
Forget softball, they need to join the Midway at the circus!
