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 8-8-Q. It was there last year. Now it is gone. NFHS retains the "about to catch" clause in their version of this rule.
I just say "runner out for illegal contact" to coaches.. if they dont like it they can go read a rule book.
