Cecil,
As you can tell from my post just above yours, I have a different view on the USC application here.
Being deceitful is not against the rules so long as it does not become interference or obstruction. Signs from the 3B coach. Signals from the catcher to the pitcher. Changeup. Rise ball. Fake throw. Fake bunt. etc. etc.
A batter running to 1B on a dropped 3rd strike is not interference, by rule. A batter leaving the batter's box on a pitch with the count at 3 balls is not illegal, by rule.
I maintain, coached or not, this is not USC, but legal deception.
