The case book is wrong for NFHS?

Come on WMB. That same case plays been there awhile.. CO is beat to death in clinics.. no one has put out a correction.

I wish I had a ASA case book , unfortunately i dont. Maybe you could do a quick paraphrase for me.

At anyrate, I'll have to agree to disagree and state the rule is obviously written with the intent:

a swing (not a hit) or an ATTEMPTED bunt (not a bunt)

the wording to me is clear but you are reading it differently.

I also think my interpretation is in line with the spirit of the rule, not putting the offense at a disadvantage on any OBS by using DDB, which is consistent throughout all OBS scenarios.

The only reason its dead and not DDB in the squeeze rule we are discussing is because the ball was MISSED by the batter (presumably for a rules discussion because of CO), the batter isnt going anywhere, so there is no need to allow a play at home which could be unsafe, or a play anywhere else when the runner will be awarded home... ie unnecessary risk for no possible gain by the offense.

Thats my interpretation and reasoning, supported by case play, also logic, and consistancy of all other OBS rulings.

I do respect yall so we'll have to agree to disagree here at this point.
