Interference call?

[wadeintothem]

ASA

The same idiot coach who I talked about in a previous thread "Rabbit Ears" Rabbit Ears? did the following and its been rattling around in my head every since. Even at the time... I just stood there staring at it ... half way about to call it but just not sure. When I'm not sure, I dont call it, especially if no one is whining.

R1 @ 3B on the pitch R1 Runs for home, coach runs beside with her for a few steps (3 or 4) then the coach and runner come to a "runner stop" and then he yells very loudly "get back get back get back" and waving his arms wildly... obviously the 12-13 y/o catcher is about to crap her pants and throws the ball to who knows where and the runner scores easily. Not a peep from anyone.

There is a specific coaches interference which this play does not fall within..

"Bush league" type deal, defense accountable or INT? Obviously, INT could be called.. should it be?

As I type it out.. it seems like a pretty obvious INT call. At the time though I was kind of incredulous at this jerk.

Was this before or after the Rabbit ear incident?

[wadeintothem]

It was after.

Intentionally interfering with the play? or Wildly instructing runner to return?


I wouldn't call it.

My instinct is usually and was not to call it. This seems as to be on the defense... but the other Int thread got me wondering.

I'm missing something. What did he do to interfere? You're upset because he ran with the runner or because of what he yelled? He yelled at his runner and the defense reacted badly. Did he cause them to react badly?

I'm pretty sure I made no indication of being "upset". I said it was rattling around in my head, not that I was upset.

Sorry, didn't mean to misrepresent what you were saying. My question still stands that I don't get what you're saying he did wrong.

Thanks, I understood that you did not get it, and that is fine as well.

It's bush, but not interference. If he keeps trying that, in a couple of years he'll be pulling that big yellow softball out of his ear.

I sure hope I'm there.

And he'd better hope there's a doctor there to help him, because most folks may not be so helpful!

A perfectly executed pitchout and snap throw down to third would probably take care of this situation.

Or a perfectly executed snap throw to the 3B Coach's ear. An it would still be a live ball until he kicked it or picked it up and threw it somewhere.

If this rattled the catcher to the point she couldn't simply hold the ball or throw it to her teammate, she isn't going to be able to execute something like this
