Then you have never called ball in the South, Sup. Managers sit up at nights thinking of ways to bend the rules.
E.g. East Cobb-Atlanta coach, high powered program, multi-million $$$ private fields, has his players running in the outfield warning track, between innings, during the inning when there is "Time". On dead balls. Teh during play.
You call him on this practice, then when the opposing coach sends his F1 to the bullpen with practice F2 from the dugout while the ball is live............
