These kids likely never played LL
Started playing travel at 8. Where very few coaches teach fundamentals. I had a conversation with my sons first travel coach (at 12) asking to have dome time at practice (I was supposed to be an assistant) to teach the middle infielders how to take cutoffs, hold runners on, take a throw from the catcher, etc. because they were clueless. He told me they should already know that. But they didn’t and we were the coaches. How else would they learn?

I tend to agree that he knows the rule but likely lost track…
