College Transfer Rules for Baseball Programs

I have a question. How does a player who is unhappy with his current coach and team transfer to another college program? I want to talk to a coach in a program closer to my home. However in order to do that, the new coach needs me to have a release. With the new rules, If I go to my current coach and ask him for my release then I surely am telling him I want to leave. I just want to play. How can I talk to another program coach to see if he would be interested and if I would be a fit without violating any rules. It seems like this new rule is actually punishing someone like me who just wants to play ball in a program where I would best fit.

From the Baseball Pro:
Nick,
I am sorry I am out of the loop when it comes to the new college transfer rule. Without knowledge of the rule I would not be able to advise you correctly.
Sorry,
Your Baseball Pro, Steve Holm

P.S. Rules change every year, and they are different for each level. Can you have a third party make informal inquiries for you without divulging your name or school?
