(I was beginning to feel sorry for this kid as during the previous 1/2 inning he was coaching 3b and all but tackled his runner causing the 3rd out of the inning.)

Assuming a proper appeal, out. That runner has two coaches. That means he had the benefit of 6 eyes watching for that catch. If he took off on a verbal that contradicted what should have been seen, shame on him.
