From another forum, coach putting spit on ball

[Stu Clary]

Spitting on the ball....spitting on his hands then rubbing up the ball....I don't see a big difference there.

Are you, IRISHMAFIA, OK with the coach's actions? It sure seems like it. I'd still like to know what he's doing out near the circle.

We're talking about the "1 minute" between innings. What rule is being broken here?

Between half innings?
What do you care?

Personally, I feel as though this thread has drug on way too long. This is one of those not addressed in any book situations. So, if you feel it was nothing, say nothing. If you feel as though the coach is, by spitting on his hands (I find that offensive enough to want to toss him ) and then rubbing the ball, helping out his players or altering the ball in some way, replace the ball, address it with the coach and move on.

Pretty simple, it would seem to me.

I can assure you of one thing, I will remember this coach and never shake his hand again at the plate conference.
