Carefull there, the coach has to leave the game and take no further part in that game. It says nothing about been able to communicate via signs. I would probably interpret that as trying to take part in the games however I am just pointing out the fact. BRD. pg 106, Section 161.

You are kidding right?
Read it again...He has to leave the game and TAKE NO FURTHER PART IN THAT GAME...what part of giving signs to an active player is not participating? What do you suppose those signs are? (Meet us at Dairy Queen after the game.)
If a coach has been removed from participating in the game - either as an on field coach or because their is a limit to how many coaches a team can have, it is your responsibility to limit his input. Travelling leagues at the youth level often have such requirements. Are you going to allow an obvious (the catcher turning to look for the sign is fairly obvious) infraction? Now I know you cannot read minds, but what possible purpose could an individual have for "communicating via signs" to onfield players? This is not a court of law, all we need is a reasonable doubt and we stop the action. [/B]

Slow your wind down here Mr. Blue. Read what I said and realize you may be preaching to the choir. You got a problem with my reference, see the author. I have heard from a good source that he hangs around here once in a while.
