A new one for me this past week:

DII College, lower quality team, 2 umpire system with runners on 1st and 3rd, less than 2 outs. Fly ball to left field, I am PU. I call the out, see the runner at third tag and touch the plate. Coach appeals leaving early at third. I call the runner safe. Coach asks me to get help from my partner. I explain this is not an option. She tells me, "In Florida they told me you had to go for help if I asked you to." I explain that is only for a checked swing. She reiterates what happened in Florida. I rebut, "Coach, what happens in Florida, stays in Florida." She thanked me graciously for doing my job to her satisfaction and we moved on.
