I think you guys are joking around here...this is a classic example of how NOT to take this play at the plate. The picture shows the instructor getting straight-lined and basically having no angle to see whether or not the runner is being tagged.

A classic rule of umpiring is NEVER put anything between yourself and the play. Obviously, the runner is in a direct line between the umpire and the catcher(tag) - Big NO NO. This play should definitely be taken 3BLX.
