My two favorite coaches of the weekend:

1) after an IP, asked for time, asked permission to ask the BU about the IP, jogged from 3rd base dugout to BU coming in from A, said "I need to know more to correct that, what did she do?". After BU said it was a leap, coach said "thank you", then to pitcher "stay on the ground", thanked the PU and jogged back. All quietly.

2) Time running out, down 5 runs in a semi-final, coach hoping for another inning had batter strike out deliberately. Missed the time limit by 15 seconds, said "OK", then "line up girls". Earlier, quietly accepted an after-the-play enforcement of OBS that put an opponent on 3rd.
