Don.......
I would have to go with a no call in this situation....(as I believe you also correctly did).
We have all seen an F3 do the hokey-pokey with their foot trying to find the bag on a close play.......the only thing you should be interested in is ....... did the foot touch the bag before the runner.
If the runner slowed because of this........shame on them.
Now if F3 set up in the base path.....that is a different story and you may have one hoppin mad coach on your hands.
But the way you described it........you made absolutely the right call and explained it to the coach properly.
