Technically Yes....But

I'll grant that this double base is kinda new and may need some additional discussion at the pre-game to remind coaches. And in league games, maybe even invitational tournaments, I can see calling time and reminding players/coaches that the orange base is "not there" for anyone except the batter-runner. But I am of the opinion that in state championship play, this violation should be called - just like removing the helmet during a live ball. By the way, we used the double base in our men's districts this past weekend. They loved it - and these guys usually whine about everything.
