Here's what I did, and I didn't like it.

At any game 12U rec league and above, especially FED, I ring that up.

Besides, you dont take a 3-4 step jump/lead on a walk. you jog/run to second after the pitch. Sounds like the coach was making up BS to weasel out of a call and play to your good nature and almost got away with it.

And tell that partner of yours to pay attention, hes working a game.
