Alright I just need to play this out a little more for my heartless benefit.
For those who say you look the other way, are you saying you will never appeal regardless of the age and situation or just because you are kind-hearted people who feel bad for the 10U player on her first homerun?
What if this was her 10th homerun of the season as a 10U player and you knew it?
What if it was her second homerun of the game and she missed bases both times?
What if she was 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, etc...? When should she know better?
What if it were the championship of the tournament, and the run won the game?
What if it were the championship of ASA Nationals, and the run won the game?
If your answer is "I wouldn't do it, no matter what", then IMHO you are a fan and not a coach. If you answer yes to some and not to others, I simply think it is a slippery slope. It just seems easier to teach the runner to touch all the bases and take emotion and opinion out of play.
