If the coach brings out the book and he's right, say thank you, change your call, suck it up, shut up and finish the game.

p.s. Be thankful that he doesn't make you look like a horse's a$$.

If a coach comes out waving or showing the rulebook, he's showing you up and inciting the fans and his team. In my game, he's gone.

Like Bob said, if he has questions about something strange like the NCAA DH rule, I might entertain showing him my sheet cheat.

Help me out with this,

I am trying to envision this in my mind and do it myself, and I just cant seem to get it done.

Can someone explain step by step a smooth and continuous move & step & throw to first base, while breaking the back plane with the "free knee".
In trying this, I notice that when the knee goes back toward "2nd" breaking the plane, you have to turn at the hips, and the step to first is a sideways step with the toes pointing more toward second than first.

I have never seen this done, does someone have a link or something to look at and see this move being done the right way??
