Leap, Crow Hop vs replant

Okay, I'll give you that if the coach asks using those terms, then it is best to reply using those terms. However, if the question is "what did she do wrong," I'm not going to be the first to set foot down that road.

I think you really underestimate some coaches and their willingness to at least try and learn. And what makes you think these publications are not available to coaches? All three publications umpires receive are available on-line to members.

Granted, there are the coaches that know what "B" and "C" position are and when you're supposed to be there. However, when I said "not even really SUPPOSED to have read," I didn't mean to imply that he shouldn't have it available if he wants it. Instead I was simply trying to say that he's part of the intended audience for the rule book, but not necessarily the other two.
