1..In the original post, there were TWO runners, not none.
2.."If R3 had touched home before R2 was contacted by the coach, score the run. If R3 had not yet reached home, no run." Since the ball is dead IMMEDIATELY on ALL interference calls, NO runner may score.
3..Since, with less than two outs, runners return to last base legally touched at the time of the interference, it makes a world of difference.
4.."and God forbid we have any "is the ball dead between innings" conversations!)" Totally asinine statement.
