"The coach try to say that the runner, his son, has every right to run over the catcher if he is in the baseline."

Rules set?

Cats, do you know of a 13/14 rules set somewhere that ALLOWS catchers to be trucked ? Because I've never seen one.

Actually, straight Pony league does allow this as long as the contact is not unsportsmanlike and he is attempting to get to the plate. It is very similar to OBR in this regard but there is a little more restriction since it is kids. However, in the OP, there is no need for any contact unless incidental.

Trucking a catcher is always going to be MC, or at least by my understanding of term trucking. Hard contact in a train wreck, not likely.

It's hard to make any determination about MC from writing. That call

More than another IMO is HTBT.

I agree that MC is a HTBT, trucking a catcher, by definition, means to crash, roll, lower your shoulder into, or name whatever your action and is malicious.
