Coach:

You were just experiencing "Umpire Myth #52."

In NFHS (FED) his position was legal by rule so don't blame them THIS time.

In OBR tradition has allowed a fielder to take a position with one foot in foul territory.

IF one team complains then the umpire shall require both teams to perform to the letter of the law (both feet fair).

The penalty for this is not a balk it would be an ejection if a player continued the practice.

At no time is it a "fielder's balk."

Regards,
