No. I posted the case from the casebook ... not a rule from the rules book.

But the rule listed in the casebook DOES address the situation.

I disagree with regard to squaring to bunt. If it were not for the casebook, this situation would be very open to wide interpretation.

I certainly hope it would not. Fed uses the case book, Fed, OBR & NCAA use AR's. All use clinics and rule interp. meetings. This is pretty basic stuff and should not be loosely interpreted.

Why I didn't protest

A couple of reasons that I didn't protest the misapplication of the rule:

1. Here in Missouri, protests must be handled on-site. The protesting coach has to say he is protesting. Both teams must leave the field while the protesting coach has ten minutes to find in the rule or case book why the umpire misapplied the rule. Since he said "in my opinion", I felt that he was going to change that to "in my judgement" when he realized that he was wrong.

2. I had heard a story of this same umpire ejecting a coach earlier in the season when the coach agrued the misapplication of the rule. I didn't want to take that chance.

I realize these are not good reasons to follow the procedures placed before us, but it was the decision that I made.

I would not continue assigning an umpire who did this.

The Case Book is effectively part of the Rules Book.
