Sorry, I took my football team to camp this week and missed the board.
LDUB: You have entirely missed my point. Where did I say I would not enforce this for BOTH teams? I do not care WHY a coach is between the box and the line, I don't care if he is stealing signs, or talking to his runner or calling his mother, it makes no difference. When we are in play, live action, with a pitch, I am backing ALL first base coaches back behind the coaches box line that runs parallel to the 1B line. That lane between the coaches box and 1B is MY line of sight to the plate, and NO first base coach is going to stand in that lane for ANY reason. It has NOTHING to do with stealing signs. If he wants to steal signs from the coaches box, great have at it, it's part of baseball. But he is NOT doing it from the space between the box and 1B, and it has NOTHING to do with stealing the signs, it has ONLY to do with I am not allowing ANY coach in that space.
North or south of the box, fine, I don't care. Back toward the dugout, away from the base, great, stand there if you want. But if you are the 1B coach, you will NOT stand between the box and 1B, FOR ANY REASON, especially on fields where that distance is squeezed t less than the 15' in the book.
Good grief, I am not against stealing signs. I am not enforcing this for one team and not the other. NO coach stands between the box and the base, FOR ANY REASON.
