I feel that this is telling a coach to alter the bat and then allowing it in.
What is the feeling in here on this?

The older model RTs had this issue - the rivets on the end of the bat would work their way out. The newer models don't seem to have this issue.
I have done the same thing as your partner, just not told them to use a hammer. Usually, knocking the bat against the dugout pole worked just fine.
Our local UICs never had a problem with it.
