Your help is very appreciated and will be reflected in future games.
I also would like to defend the BU (me if you haven't guessed) a little. The play happened quickly, so coming from deep C2 to the quick two-throw rundown and stopping to call the swipe tag out seemed to leave me without time to find the best position for subsequent action. As said, in the future, I'll make sure I'm out of the line in case there is a confused R2 behind me.
After the tag, I turned counter-clockwise to check R2 at 2nd, so maybe that kept her behind me longer and therefore out of sight.
The learning/refreshing:
- get inside the baseline before stopping
- turn quicker, probably clockwise in case of a play at 3rd which was closer to the ball at that moment.

Just FYI, half the grief was caused by the earlier play when I was in B and the coaches blamed me for my PU partner not covering 3rd. Both led to endless complaining the rest of that game and a later game.
