Dakota,
Thanks for your reply.
While I did recognize that it was a hypothetical play, I got confused with the double play/triple play posts.
I would have called a double play upon appeal and thought for a while I was wrong by some of the other info I read as I read through the posts.
So . . . . . .
I checked the rule and - tho vague - it does appear that the incorrect batter is not out and the proper batter is.
So . . no triple play.
Understanding that, the only thought left to me was as you said. The coach did not want to face the subsequent batter in the order and wanted to take his chances with B3 again.
I was confused and now I'm not.
Thanks for the clarification.
I guess I would have made the right call, but not for the right reason until now.
