Can they do this?

I'm not an OOO but I would be inclined to stop it, or at the very least make it a very quick conference.

You have no reason to stop it...

But if the coach does this, you have nothing. If one of the kids drops down and acts like a catcher, or one of them starts using a windup motion ... then you have something to stop.

Thanks to Blue37. I knew I had seen this ruling somewhere but I could not find it.

A challenge with the new interps each year is that the NFHS kindasorta hides them when the new year breaks.

You have the connections now, but in the recent past we have been told this applies to what the wording addressed, a player not the pitcher throwing warming up pitches, not F6 throwing to F3.

Guess I am happy I didn't look.
