I had the following situation last Saturday and like to hear some opinions on this case.
I refer to the N.A.P.B.L. Umpire Manual since we play under the OBR.

6.10 Trips to the Mound by Player-Manager
While playing, any visit to the mound by a player-managerwill be considered a trip.
The umpire shall notify the player-manager and the opposing manager each time a trip is charged.

6.11 Trips to the Mound by Player-Coach
While playing, a player-coach will be treated as a player until he is considered to have abused the privilege. If, in the judgement of the umpire, the privilege is abused, the player-coach and his manager will be advised that any future visits to the mound will be charged as trips.

Both definitions are not hard to understand but how do you handle a player-coach who catches? Do you allow him to visit his pitcher as often as he likes to since he is the catcher?

I learnt that in baseball it is always about fair and unfair, advantage and disadvantage.
To me it is not fair if a coach can go to his pitcher as often as he desires because he is the catcher while on the other hand the other coach only has one free trip per inning.

Kindly clarify
