Umpire Ruling - 2nd time

[Coach Joe]

That was the first and only conference that inning.

So...

the basecoach calls for time, was granted time and when the coach started his conference the umpire called illegal conference and ended the conference..



There always seems to be a scratching for details and a vague scenario presented by you coach Joe, one that is difficult to decipher and understand..

its confusing.

So.. I guess that said.. I'll just affirm the umpire, based on your scenario, was wrong and should have allowed the conference that he had granted time out for.

Hope that helps.

Coach Joe,

Sorry that you have to go through these long, enduring crap that some like to lay out on this site.

There are really only two reasons the umpire deterined the conference was illegal (and that determination was correct). One, the team had already used its charged conference for that inning, which you said did not happen. Two, the person determined at the pre-game meeting as the head coach did not ask for the conference (which I think would be crazy decision by the umpire to make).

I think your umpire thought that an offensive conference could only be held away from fair territory. Oh well, his mistake.

What?

BTW, please don't apologize on my behalf. Others can speak for themselves.

I don't think you have to worry about that happening.
