I have never seen this happen and now that I have seen all this discussion on it if I ever do I am on the way to the gate as soon as the runner touches home, dropping any baseballs I still have toward the home dugout. Since the batter-runner can go to 1B at any time as long as he has not entered the dugout I am not going to stick around long enough for a defensive coach to think this up. Once I am gone the defensive coach can't raise the question so he better be quick. And if I'm standing around like I am waiting for some event to happen he may figure out there is a reason.
