Every inning the opposing coach at 1B carried a small, very white, clipboard which he kep referring to. We had a LHP on the mound.
Once or twice he moved the clipboard noticeably just as our pitcher was pitching -- almost looked to me like he was trying to visually distract him.
Is there any rule that gives the umpire the authority to tell the coach he can't have the clipboard while in the coaches box?
