ASU - LSU Tempe Regional Final

[3SPORT]

Does anyone know why the extreme penalty of an ejection?

Why not just simply invoke the penalty of removing the pitcher on the 2nd defensive conference?

It was probably the same moron who thinks it is bad for a 3rd base coach to pat a homerun hitter on the back or slap her hands.

Why is it bad?

RULE 9.5.3 Offensive team personnel, other than base coaches and runner(s), shall not touch a batter or base runner(s) who is legally running the bases on a dead-ball award until the player(s) contacts home plate.

honestly as previously stated the rule book on the field is not as it once was. We all know of a time where when you saw a rule book in a coaches hand when they came out to argue you dumped them right away... times have changed they did a good job of avoiding a formal protest and thats what they talked about in the clinic recent years

There was a protest. Had there not been one, I doubt you would have seen the rule book in a crew member's hand. Once LSU stated that they were protesting, one of the first steps in the protest procedure is to get the book out.

Because, in NCAA ball, the penalty for a second conference in the same inning is ejection of the team representative who holds the additional conference. (6.11.1.1.Effect and 6.11.2.1.Effect)

(See AzUmp's post above!)

1) Because, as others have stated, that isn't the NCAA rule.

2) It isn't the rule because the COACHES write the NCAA rule book.

3) It is the coach's mistake to hold a second charged conference, not the player's mistake to stand there and get yelled at.

4) There has to be some penalty.

5) Even the NCAA head coaches know they are often more expendable for their mistake of having a second conference than their pitcher.

That rule makes more sense than removing the pitcher, IMO, even though it is less traditional.

It is truly a non-traditional rule.
Now, how many would say something to the coach before he/she goes out or just let him/her have the conference without any comments until the ejection.

It is no different than the penalty for excessive offensive conferences in ASA.

I would always alert the coach that they are not permitted. If they continue, it is at their own peril.

I totally agree. I wish the other codes would actually adopt this penalty in place of the "removing the pitcher" one!
