Maybe I should have walked him through it........

I enjoyed greatly reading his 700 word dissertations on how to signal a foul tip. But I don't lend much credence to his findings at a LL clinic.


Tim.

I would not agree that PU has a "much better look" simply because of the distance. The only time I think PU can really tell if he tagged him would be if the runner is running through the tag.

If F3 is tagging on the backside of the runner, no way PU can really tell if he tags the BR.

But, as you stated, if PU hustles up the line, he could help on the play if asked by BU with no problems and probably no complaints.

Thanks
