Defensive coach goes crazy and whips out the rule book.
Question 1: Do you have interference on the runner and call the batter out?
Question 2: Some umps don't ever want coach to bring rule book on the field. Do you toss him or let him read what the book says.
As a side note, defensive team was losing 13-1 in the bottom of the 4th. Game was called after 5 and a half.

dacodee,
I'm curious about two things regarding the situation you described:
1. Did you and your partner correct your
erroneous "non-call"?
2. Did you or your partner eject the coach who brought the rulebook onto the field?
