I had a very similar play last summer. This is when it pays to be a tall guy with a big voice. (My
Dead Ball! call has been known to stop play on adjacent fields.
) So when I killed it, play stopped. It still took a minute to get the Offensive coach to understand, but at least he didn't have runners all over the base paths. If you don't have a big voice, make your signals "big and exaggerated."
