Pre-game warnings

Mike (as usual) is right about this. You can't issue a "warning" for an action that has not occured. I always ask (NFHS, ASA, NCAA) if teams are legally and properly equipped AND if bats, helmets and other equipment is legal...even though I have checked bats and helmets...because I want to put the onus on the coach in case we have a problem of some sort later on.

But to consider what was done in the pregame as a "warning" is, IMHO, improper. And, personally, I feel that going in with preconceived notions about what a team might do/has done in the past is not a good idea. We usually have enough problems to handle without worrying is #3 is gonna chunk her bat or #6 flings her helmet or whatever. If ya go into it looking for trouble, chances are you will find it - and more.
