Trick play question

So, am I to interpret that language as trick plays are unsportsmanlike?

Am I the only one here that doesn't see a problem with this? The offense coach basically gave the defense team a easy out but no one, not a coach, player, or even parent ( I've saw a few missed bases over the years in DDs games that I alerted the coach and got the out) saw that egregious running, shame on them. Coaches, have a player or two on your bench do nothing but watch runners touch bases, simple as that.

Yes you are the only one.

I now a travel ball coach that, with runners on, coached his batters to head to first on ball three, basically getting a free base for their runners. He thought it was good strategy. I told him if I were upping that I would restrict him and the batter to the dugout (As suggested in the 2018 case book).

I can guarantee the parent of the kid who "missed" 3B saw it..Which brings up an interesting question. If that was your kid what would you do in that situation...(not after the fact..right at that point in time)?

First of all, this play has been practiced. So I would never allow my DD to play for a coach that the lack moral judgement to even consider such a play. If I saw this play practiced, I would immediately ( mid practice) approach the coach and inform him we are leaving.
This is a reminder to ask questions and do a little research before joining a team. I am sure this guys is a known jerk and has a poor reputation. You simply don't become this stupid overnight.

It was HS ball (nobody is forcing you to play it I guess) and nobody watches HS ball practice..(watching anything above 10u TB practice is helicopter parenting as well imo..get a coffee and then take a nap in your car..)

I guess I missed that it was HS ball. Can't believe this guy still has a job.

I just assumed Class C State meant HS but I could be wrong.

Agreed...still doesn't mean it is umpire's job to be the moral police. Sounds like you should apply for the job...

Pretty obvious that I am being the moral police here.

If you are talking about being a sports official... why would I join a group who's standards are so so low.
