I award R1 and R2 home and BR 3rd
Defense Captain comes to me and asks if I saw R2 touch 2nd before the throw, which of course I could not since I was watching the play. The rule is 2 bases from the last base touched at the time of the throw. So I put R2 back on 3rd and BR on 2nd.
Of course, now offensive captain goes wild. I explain call and it quiets. Next batter gets hit that scores both R2 and previous BR, so point is moot.

Wait another minute, I am not done questioning the call...;-)
Did you take the defensive coach's word that R2 had not yet reached 2B?
What did you explain to the offensive coach?
The answer should have been to the defensive coach..."Coach, in my judgement R2 had touched 2B"...and let the original call stand.
