Yes, I know in NFHS there is no such thing.
Tonight I am working two good High School teams. Both have coaches
that know the rules.
Third inning on a play at 1B, everything arrives at the same time. No runners
on base. I signal OBS. Runner remaining at 1B. Defensive coach calls time and
approaches. "Blue, I know you won't allow a rule book on the field, but what
about the case book?"
"Coach, before you say anything , or do something that will get you out of
this game, let me assure you that my call is correct." "Continue
to play and we will discuss it after the game." His team wins. I immediately
go to my car and get the article that I received from WMB which stated No Train
Wrecks - Obstruction. Showed him who had made the ruling, M. E. Struckhoff. I
then told him I knew which Case Book Ruling he was going to show me. 8.4.3
Situation E: I told him that until I heard otherwise, I was not calling wrecks,
but obstruction. His parting point was a good one. "Why were'nt the coachs
notified of this?"
