Although 3.2.2B confuses me and seems to not be consistent with 3-2-2. 3-2-2 says the penalty for a coach assisting a runner: "PENALTY: The ball is dead at the end of playing action. The involved batterrunner or runner is out and any additional outs made on the play stand. Runners not put out return to bases occupied at the time of the infraction."

Simple enough but 3.2.2B seems to contradict that:



Called out immediately to me means that you kill the play and it's not a delayed dead ball....I've only had this happen once and I made it a delayed dead ball.

Called out immediately means just that, nothing more. Similar to a runner passing a preceding runner. Play on.
