About 15 seconds into it he goes a little nuts (not TOO bad, but a little).
After the game we are having a little debriefing.
ME: So, what happened to make the coach go nutso?
Newbie BU: I told him I was certain I heard the tag.
I was nice...

I have called an out on a tag I've heard a couple of times. One was when a player clipped the heel of a sliding runner. Another was a swipe tag on a high throw to first. Couldn't see the runner's back, but I heard the glove hit him in the shoulder.
I hope you were real nice. . .
