My only quibble with the original call is the explanation, "for not sliding."
That is not why you called the runner out. You called the runner out for remaining upright and crashing into a fielder.
Do note, however, that ASA has removed the "about to catch" clause from 8-7-Q. It was there last year. Now it is gone. NFHS retains the "about to catch" clause in their version of this rule.
