It troubles me that something that is covered in so many clinics and schools and has such great potential for liability is not in writing.
If I am sued (batter gets injured sliding into a bat) and need to justify why I didn't move a batter, I would like something stronger then, "I was told so at multiple clinics and schools."
I am NOT mocking your answer at all. I also don't doubt that this is what you were taught, as I've heard many people who agree with you.
I just find that type of teaching to be weak. When things aren't in writing, there's always the potential for denial.
I appreciate your honest answer even if I don't agree with the philosophy.
