Strange Day and strange Me

[BuggBob]

I had a varsity game with two well seasoned coaches, or so I thought. On a foul tip a runner from 1st steals 2nd, no throw. One of the defensive coaches yells, "That's a foul ball." The runner gets up, dusts off and trots back to 1st as the catcher throws the ball back to the pitcher, who is not in the circle. When the runner gets back to 1st the offensive coach tells the runner, "That was a foul tip not a foul ball go back to second." So the runner trots back to second. No throw no nothing again. Now the defensive coach goes nuts and calls time. Since nobody is doing anything we grant time. He ask, "What just happened, that was a foul tip?" I tell him, "Yes sir a foul tip, the runner stole 2nd, and then stole 1st and then stole 2nd again." "But that was a foul tip." "Yes sir, on a foul tip the ball is live runners can advance with liability to be put out which she wasn't." "Then that is a look back rule." "No sir, your pitcher was not in the circle when the runner started back to 1st or 2nd, when your pitcher was in the circle the runner never changed direction, lets play."
