Coach Bringing Ball onto Field During a Conf

[officialtony]

Sorry " Peace ", but 2-10-1 does NOT prohibit a ball being thrown around during a conference. iN FACT, IT DOES NOT PROHIBIT anything. It only speaks to who is involed in the charged conference. It doesn't disallow players talking to each other, stopping to get a drink while the conference is going on, retying their shoes, changing a fielders glove, or a multitude of other things - INCLUDING THROWING A BALL AROUND! Since it doesn't say the coach must walk forwards would you disallow him walking backwards if he chooses to? Everyone of these is as ridiculous as not letting them throw a ball around. So how does 2-10-1 give anyone the authority to prevent a ball from being tossed?

And . . . 3-4-1 makes NO reference to a ball being prohibited from the players while conferences are going on. It only identifies the rule on the overall requirements for a charged conference, which has NOTHING to do with players activities during the conference.

Geez, we have already debated this and I was wrong. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Be strong enough to admit the same and move on.

Oh yeah watch out for 10-2-3g on this forum.
It spells trouble. Might want to rethink that one too.
I have learned on that one as well.
