Hey guys, lighten up. Here I am thinking about how neat it is to have a non-umpire who can clearly explain the steps and then lets us know what the protest committee screwed up and you are jumping on coaches knowing rules and typos.
Yes, the coach did something that is not allowed, but the umpire allowed it and so did the protest committee. Of course protest committees ar a little suspect anyway. How often do you see a player reject playing time because they know the rule better than the coach?
Yes, I know that Steve M knows this rule inside out; but I also know that this specific part about reentry is vague enough to be presented wrong at one of our clinics this year and discussed at length on this forum.
