PU: Sorry coach it went foul.
Coach: Ahhh, your full of it, that was an awesome hit and your robbing her.
So apparently if the ball clears the higher portion of the pole as it goes over the fence, it is always considered fair.
New one on me.  |
At that point...I just tossed him...end of the "fair/foul,you can't rob her" discussion.
