OZZY,
What I am saying, is if it is not in the rule book, don't go out looking to create "stuff".
FED rules or not, don't go looking for dirt. I guy steals second base. Second baseman says foul ball, so the runner listens to him and goes back to first, where he is tagged out along the way. Are you going to stop the game and call verbal instruction and award the runner second anyway because he (probably a 17 year old) does not know to only listen to an umpire or base coach?
What will the audience think? Now you are going to have to explain why you are awarding him second base AFTER he was caught of the bag and tagged! Tell me how you get out of this? I will tell you...by not being anal and letting the kids play. There is no rule about that, so why make one up...and then try to enforce it!!!
So be my guess, friend, be anal and call everything you think is UNFAIR, not just the rules. We will be there for about 4 hours trying to finish a game while making everyone HAPPY!!!
