I talked with the UIC of the tourney and a few umpires about it and although we'd all love to call it INT and seatbelt a bush playing coach like this. We cant/shouldnt and it was explained like this to me.
"Players should know there own teams/coaches voices."
This was a ASA rule based tournament.
I call BS on this "players should know their own teams'/coaches' voices." Let's face it, some people sound the same. I'm also pretty good at doing impressions of various people (you should hear my Bill Clinton impression). If a offensive player or coach were to yell "I got it" while a fielder is attempting to catch a fly ball, you'd be a fool to say, "well, the fielder should know his/her teammates' voices." BS! Pull something like that, and I'll call INT, not to mention the probability that I might toss the offending vocalist for USC.

In this sitch, though... I can't call INT. Not because of the voice issue, but the coach is coaching his runner. Maybe it's HTBT, but from the OP, I just can't call it.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
