Pool Play, Tournament Game, 1:30 Time Limit Bottom 5, VT-5 HT-2, 2 outs, no one. 2 minutes left. Coach tells his batter, where everyone can hear it, to step on the plate and bunt the ball. Batter walks up, squares to bunt, foot halfway on the plate (in my judgement, his back heel is still is still touching the batters box) the pitch, bunts the ball to the F5. F5's throw pulls F3 off the base, runner safe. HTHC comes and says his batters foot was on the plate and he is automatically out, I told him no it isn't and his heel was still in the box. Told him discussion over and to go back to the 3rd base coaching box. Then yells across the field and tells his player to go in the dugout (they are first base side). BU rules him out, we play another inning VT scores 12, HT comes up 3up3down. I was discussing with some others that I called with and we all seem to agree that we could of ejected the HTHC for intentionally attempting to break the rules and rule it under unsportsmanlike. Obviously, we will never see something like this in HS, NCAA, or MLB. what are y'alls opinions? Why or why not? anything we could have done differently?
