Well, I don't speak for the board, but I do not agree with no call in that situation.

I loudly and very clearly call "NO CATCH" while giving a "safe" signal. I make sure it is clear and precise so there is no question about the words which came out of my mouth. On top of that, the runner does have coaches to help them out.

If they still have a problem, maybe they should be playing soccer.
