You have to show control of the ball. If she caught it and took 3 or 4 steps, then fell and dropped it this is control. If she is off balance, the glove hits the ground and she loses it, I have to think she did not exhibit control at all. Heck, her body wasn't under control.
Of course, the coach should be looking at or listening to the umpire to see what the call is. I'm not sure he can complain on the 2 outs. He might have questioned the fly ball out and asked for an appeal to his partner, if he was even looking at it, which he shouldn't have been. The leaving the base early out is a given. UNLESS the runner left after the fielder 1st touched the ball. I wasn't clear on the timing of the leaving the base.
