i am with dg on this one...if the coach wants to confer with his pitcher next to the water cooler i would have to say something, but the foul line is not that big a deal, you and everybody there knows that that coach is using one of his charged conferences to the mound but doesn't want to walk that far. yes it is a little un orthodoxed..but he knows that he is being charged along with everyone in attendance. if he wants to work his pitcher more then let him..
just use judgments with this. if he wants to walk to left field don't let him, but i will not penalize him for walking to the foul line and calling his pitcher over there.
