It has been a long time since I posted and I understand everything stated above. I do have a question though. It's a dead ball and, yes, she must run the bases legally. However, if it's a dead ball, a lot of things can happen that normally cannot in a live ball situation. My understanding of the post, the coach did grab the runner and tell her to go back. However, he wasn't preventing a tag by a defensive player or helping her in any type of timing issue. In this instance, it seems that telling her to go back is more of an assistance than grabbing her. Not saying I'm right, just saying this should be considered.
