Appears to be like the basketball situation that they show on all the blooper shows. Under the basket, inbounds pass, player not in on play falls down and starts acting like he is having convulsions, everyone watches, the team passes ball to the player under hoop who makes uncontested lay-up. Game over.

I would not penalize anyone for this. If a guy runs out into right field and acts like and idiot, AND the opposing team stops and watches, their fault. I would think that if the opposing team shows discipline and plays ball, and that play does not work, the coach, team, and player will look like combined idiots and probably never use it again.

I know if I was a parent, and my coach who is hired to coach these kids correctly, pulls something like this and disrespects the team, the board would be hearing it.
In basketball, this is a Technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. NQA.

Past Fed interpretations
 
I asked Fed for past interpretations, and they responded as if I had asked for the Dead Sea Scrolls. Does anyone have Fed interpretations (situations) from years before 2002?

Mule:<p>You should buy a copy of my book, <i>Baseball Rule Differences</i>, the BRD.

It contains scores of past FED rulings that do not appear in the casebook.

I asked the FED rules committee advisor why they did not significantly increase the size or their casebook or at least provide an "accessory volume." He said the various state associations do not want to pay for such a book.

If you think it would be valuable — and I do — you should contact your state representative and lobby for his vote on the committee.

In the meantime, don't hold your breath. Just buy my book. It will get you through the night, I promise.

If you don't like it, I'll give you your money back — and you can keep the book.

Here's where you buy it:

I have the 2000, 2001, and 2002 Interpretations that I have downloaded from the NFHS site. They are in Microsoft Word format. I can forward them to anyone who is interested. Contact me at [email protected]

Already bought your BRD, Carl. It's great and I've recommended it to every ump I know.
