remember that I'm getting all of this second hand... and I agree with the poster who said it's one of those 'you had to be there' calls. My impression was that the catcher was reaching for the ball, which left the path to the plate open, but after she caught the ball she turned into the path of the runner...
the conference was due to the defensive coach complaining...
i's a tough call, and I agree that umpires need to be willing to protect the catcher.. and girls need to be a bit more willing to lose some skin and slide.
