I'd like your feedback on the criteria you use to distinguish the two. Some attempts surely get into the grey area, (hands apart from each other 3-4", but the hand by the knob is stationary while the other pushes the bat well forward, entire body moving forward from the back of the box)

Umpires have been making these judgments for decades and I really don't care what the coach thinks.
A swing is the effort of a player to strike the ball with the bat. A bunt is when the player holds the bat in a certain position in an effort to tap the ball with little (or no) force.
