I was not shouting, but I don't think that you get it at all.

In Fed, the runner is not called out immediately. IT IS A DELAYED DEAD BALL. That means that we wait until playing action ceases and then call 'Time'. We may then invoke the penalty, if necessary. I say, if necessary, because if the coach helps the player, but the player is thrown out at the plate, it doesn't matter.

In NCAA, we have the same thing. We wait until the playing action is over, call 'Time' and then enforce any applicable penalties.

As I said, we covered this a week ago and I gave you the answer just a day ago. They are basically the same. I don't think you grasp the concept of delayed ded ball or we wouldn't be having this discussion.

The Case Book (3-2-2b) is in error, as Carl and I have said already.

The Rule Book, 3-2-2 and 5-1-2f are in agreement. When explaining a rule, I prefer to back things with the Rule Book. The Case Book is like the "Umpring for Dummies" series. Yes, it helps explain things, but I have never said 'Coach, it's right there in the CASE book.'
