In the play we were discussing F3 feet came off of either side of the bag into foul territory. It was agreed that F3 foot was on the orange bag when the errant throw was caught that he would have to touch white to make the out
I agree with what Gary said and if F3 was properly coached there would not be a collision problem.....but......yes 1st we would have to have the coaches properly taught.
The only time I have seen the double base 1st base be effective was in a NSA and SPA tournaments where if the runner hit any part of the white bag on his run through it was a automatic out no appeal needed. Unders ASA rule where it is a live ball appeal it is useless no teams look for it and a runner can hit 99.9% white and still not be out on an appeal. My stance would be to either do away with it or write the rule that would make the teams aware there is a penalty if the runner does not fully make contact with the safty side of the bag
