Just so I have the record correct, an Illinois state interpreter (not Holman BTW, thanks for reading) tells us to not call this play as verbal obstruction and you say he can't do it - Illinois is wrong.
Yet, a few days ago, you cried that umpires need to make the expected call (even though the rule book says differently) because the interpreter/assignor/coach demands it.
Okay...which side are you on here?
The rule book does not specifically mention this play. It was highlighted in a ten year old newsletter and that is your justification. We have very similar plays that permit this type of behavior. You choose to ignore the correlation.
