I understand. But everyone needs to understand that just because the manager makes some sort of statement that you are in the clear.

The manager doesn't have the right to speak for the players and none of them have the authority to waive any rights their insurance company may choose to exercise.

The only reason I mention this is because there are people who believe that umpires simply need to ask the coach if everyone is properly equiped and they are covered (as they do in HS).
