We don't need to discuss the rule or the ruling; which we know very well.
This was an experienced umpire. What I would like is suggestions on how to better teach the rule, timing vs. force, force vs. tag, etc. or at least how to understand those who get it wrong.

Might not matter. We have a guy who's been umping for 28 years - and he's got about 2 year's worth of experience.
