Fed. Varsity game. R1, R2, first and second. B1 hits double. R1 & R2 score easily. Throw comes into catcher. Coaches insists that first runner misses home plate and wants catcher to go into dugout and tag the runner. (Why, because he is a experienced , knowledgeable varsity HS coach?)
Anyway, Catcher goes into dugout to tag runner. We have a dead ball carried into the dugout. What should the award be for the B1 that is now standing on second? 1 or 2 Bases? References would help.

Next question would be, when the ball is made live again, would you allow the appeal at home or would you consider the catcher leaving the field to tag the runner a play?
I would also like to think awarding R2 home for the stupidity of the coach is the right thing to do, but have to go with a one base award on the original sitch.
