OBR Balk Rule history/rationale question

[Rich Ives]

A coach can learn these things the same way we do, obtain all the supporting material. That could include; Casebooks, J/R manual, the BRD, PBUC manual, MLB umpires manual, get a copy of the JEA (if you can, tell me how), etc.

If coaches don't want to buy and study the above, then they should just convince the players union to allow the rules to be re-written, updated and corrected. That is the excuse I've been given as to why it hasn't been done.



You're not getting it.

The coaches don't even know those resources even exist.
