American Legion game. R2, pitcher wheels and throws to F4 who is 15 ft from second base. PU waits till ball returned to pitcher, decides he has a balk. As coach I ask for his reason, he states F4 has to be at the bag. My argument is that the pitcher doesn't even have to throw, or can throw it to F8 if he chooses. The only place the fielder has to be at the bag is first base, and only if F1 throws from the rubber. We disagree, I protest the award of 3B, game continues. Review by AL board, protest upheld, no balk. In OP no way this is a balk.
