I'm afraid we're a little off track from my original post but those things seem to happen here from time to time. I was only interested specifically in what happens with a back swing that makes contact with a catcher which has been asked and answered in the first couple of posts. Don't know where the issue of being out of the box came from except that my original post made mention that all players were in their proper positions just to make it clear that this was not a feet out of the box issue to begin with.
Tee has made his case very clearly that he does not feel we have the right to influence, suggest, or demand that catcher's move back to avoid being hit. Indeed, I feel that player's at the Fed level (varsity for sure maybe not Frsh or JV because they're still learning) should know all the rules. Now in my situations the catcher has always made a comment to me after being struck by the bat something of the nature, "hey blue tell him to watch his bat" whereupon the response to the catcher can be (if he's still conscious) a clear explanation that there is no foul (unless of course the catcher is attempting a play somewhere) and that he may choose to move himself out of harm's way or up his health insurance.
I think we have thoroughly though now beat this one to death guys, thanks for everyone's input.
