Papa C question? This happened to me last year Hudson Valley Youth Division 18 and under - FED rules.
Sitch: R1, BR singles to left. BR makes turn (left turn) but IMO judgement makes no attempt to go to second. Defensive coach yells to F3 TAG HIM! TAG HIM! HE ATTEMPTED ! The BR hearing this now starts to run because of the coaches actions he thinks he is in jeopardy of being put out.
I'm the BU and called time immediately and put BR back at first. R2 was in between 2nd and third at the time, so I put him back on second.
I took some heat from the defensive manager. Hey Blue this isn't LL, etc. I realize now that this was upper ball, but the BR only started running towards second after he heard the defensive coach. Hey wasn't my best day.
For future reference, what is the proper coarse of action in the aforementioned situation? Thanks
Pete Booth
