Taking signs off the plate

[HugoTafurst]

From Manny's post:

INSTRUCTOR COMMENTS:
=> The pitcher can take signs from the manager or coach as long as she is standing on the pitcher’s plate. If not done, after warning, she can be removed from the game.

As much as I don't want to get into this, and as much as it goes contrary to everything I am used to, it looks like for Little League, INC - it not allowed for F1 to take a sign when not on the plate.
Repeating the instructor comment:
can take signs from the manager or coach as long as she is standing on the pitcher’s plate.
That sure reads to me that if she is not on the plate, she can not take signs....

Please don't get the impression that I endorse this comment.... just reacting to what I see.
