Never talk to the new pitcher, she has coaches

I do only call foul when hit in the batter's box. I've heard from bigs in both ASA and NCAA both ways, neither is the preferred mechanic. I like the direct foul call because it is a single call, and when it may be questionable, I think it looks a little stronger to not have the two calls, JMO.

I don't even acknowledge college coaches when they have conferences, it's one per inning, it gets recorded and that is it. However, in ASA I make a point to VERBALLY inform the coach by taking a position up the foul line on his/her side of the field so that it is quiet and between us only. I deem this required because of the number of visits they are allowed and when; so tracking them over multiple innings is far more likely to result in an issue.
