Something also tells me that the meat hooks will be working overtime on this call, if it were made.

By sheer coincidence I had this call today in a varsity game, at the time tied 0-0. Coach's interference was called immediately and there really wasn't much beef from the coach.
He said, "But I wasn't helping him."
I said, "You knew what you were doing coach [with a wink]."
He said, "Yup [with a sheepish grin on his face]."
Your earlier observation regarding the cutoff and where the ball might be when this occurs also seemed to be accurate. The third baseman had the ball and the runner would have been a sitting duck anyway. Maybe that also is why there wasn't much controversy on the call. You COULD hear the head coach chewing butt about "picking up the stop signal sooner" as the runner entered the bench.
