Goes to show that coaching longevity does not always translate into rules knowledge.
Yeah, had that one last year; with 2 assistants frantically searching the book. :rolleyes:

I'm working solo, 12u rec league....RH batter checks her swing as I call a ball.
Some smart-a** yells out...."go for help, Blue!"
I whip off my mask, step out, point at the first base coach, and say..."did she go?" He immediately yells back "YES!" and gives me a strike signal.....then realized what he had just done, the look on his face was priceless.

I just shrugged my shoulders, thought "OK", and ring up a strike on my indicator.
you have, but worth repeating. :)

Well, I caught the similarity to Fizbin, but I thought we were talking about Softball.

Priceless
 
I was BU in Men's C slow pitch game. Runner on 1st no outs. Ground ball to shortstop in the hole. Throws to 2nd baseman who "catches" the ball between his elbow and body. I rule safe. Offensive coach comes up to voice his displeasure at my call. I explain that the ball must be secured in the hand or glove. Coach says "but in football....". I cut him off immediately and tell him he must be confused as this is a softball game. I turn and return to my trusty starting position.

I might have said, "Well, if this was football you'd also be getting a 15 yard penalty for coming onto the field to argue a call."

Well ... maybe I wouldn't have said it out loud. But, I would have thought it. :D

I had a new one last night. Defense made a good play and gathered briefly in the circle. As F2 is getting her helmet back on, I notice the 1B coach walking toward home plate. He says, "How about a penalty for EXCESSIVE CELEBRATION?" :confused:

I just pointed him back to his box. I guess I could have said that we would penalize them 15 yards on the next kickoff.
