Already did...

I appreciate the candor, but the fact remains that he can't have it both ways. There is a penalty for a coach preventing a runner from passing another. The runner is out and the coach is ejected. 5-1-2f tells us to call the runner out and the book is full of examples of unsportsmanlike behavior examples.

I still contend that if you want to argue that I have to call V.O. (when there is no specific rule pertaining to the example we have long debated) you better be perpared to drop your argument about implied rules for this one.

As I stated, I had a similar play happen, this is not a TWP. I tossed the coach and player when they crossed a line. The runner was called out and I had a few Heinekens that night. I can still hear the coach, "The rule is ambiguous, I know he should be out, but the rule is ambiguous..." No, that's someone else.
