F6 throws to first resulting in a overthrow and a DB award.Coach of F6 comes out and said my call caused F6 to throw ball away.I responded by saying he needs to coach his team a whole lot better.What is your mechanic and do you vebalize it.

Since the ball and glove were laying on the ground, there probably was no need to make the call, but that doesn't mean you erred by making the call.
You did nothing wrong, and yes, F6 needs a bit more coaching on her throwing skills.
