In fact, Fed and NCAA rules are different. Fed 5-1-2f simply states only that coach's interference results in a delayed dead ball. No infraction, penalty or out is necessarily implied because of a delayed dead ball or 5-1-2f, but Fed rule 3-2-2 does prohibit coach's interference, and it spells out the penalty: the involved runner or B/R is out.
Furthermore, the Case Book 3.2.2 states the runner is called out immediately because of his coach's interference. Note that other interference situations may be handled differently, e.g. batter interference.

BU56 - As I stated earlier, the out is called at the end of NCAA and Fed action!
WWTB,
There's no need to shout. The runner is not called out at the end of the playing action in FED. He's to be called out immediately. This is a delayed dead ball in both NCAA and FED rule codes, but the timing of the out call is different in NCAA. That's why I'm asking the question why the timing on the out call is delayed in NCAA play. You're the NCAA umpire, so explain to me how this doesn't put the defense at a disadvantage with multiple runners.
Tim.
