Coach Bringing Ball onto Field During a Conf

Rule 10-2-3g says (talking about the Umpire in Chief), "Make final decision on points not covered by the rules."

There is no rule that allows active players to throw the ball around during a conference, so it is ultimately my (or anyone else) decision when I am the Umpire in Chief.

I do not think this kind of action is in the spirit of the rules. You have a right to disagree. Not everyone does the same things across the board.

That's what I thought. If you're going to use that logic then don't let the players on the field throw the ball around between innings either.

There is a one minute time limit and after the one minute is up then no more throws are allowed. It doesn't say anything in the rule about the catcher being ready or not.

That's really silly IMO.

As Tee said, we're standing in RF or LF, let em warm up. When PU's ready to play, lets' play.

Thanks
