Other things that could be an IP, taking the sign off the pitching plate. Or stepping onto the plate with the hands together. You could have a girl step on the plate with hands together and pitch while you are signalling IP, and the runner gets off base prior to release. I agree since the book doesn't specify any precedence as it does in the interference ruling over OBS then I think we step through the penalties as others have described, IP then leave early-choice to offense (IP enforced if coach is not stupid!) if leaving early happened first then nothing happened after that to worry about as it is a dead ball as soon as they leave early! And Jstark I think the difference is that the book says specifically that the INT overrules the OBS, that is not the case in this item.
And Kellerumps before you go making someone try to believe a rule quote, are you sure you are reading the right book??? I couldn't help it, there was a lot of fun loving jabs in this thread, I had to take my turn!!
