So trying to prep for the season got me into the NFHS book last night and left me with questions. Here's the first couple:
1. In the team conduct section one of the things listed for a warning and then a restriction is if a player goes behind the catcher when she and the pitcher are in their positions. Am I to understand that if the new batter goes around behind, I'm supposed to issue a warning and start restricting? It doesn't happen very much in varsity, but the JV girls certainly do it from time to time. If not, what does this mean?
2. I've never restricted a coach to the dugout. If that happens and they have an assistant, I figure the assistant will just come out and act like the head coach. But if not and the coach wants a sub, do I go over to the dugout and talk to the coach? Presumably, if she wants to complain about something she's out of luck since she can't leave the dugout? Some guidance would be appreciated.
