Can the runner really do this?

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.
