rounding 1st after a walk

Bad call. What did the girl from 3rd do? She's got to make a choice when the runner gets to 1st.

She went back to 3rd on her own after the rule discussion started, I wish she would have taken off for home just to see what the call would have been. Our fans and coaches are fairly harmless so no real big deal. (we won easily anyway) Also, my daughter is one of the coaches and she has learned that arguing on the court, or field, does no good. I think we understand the LBR but were wondering where the 1/3 thing came from. We have goofy old wives tales rules in basketball that have never been in the book, but that seem to never go away.

Thanks, Stan
