The ball was clearly there before the runner, so if you say he is out, the coach says - "My player had possession." If you say he was safe, the coach has a right to complain. It seems that he's trying to bait us into saying something stupid. What do you do?

"Sorry coach! Would be, could be, might be means nothing. The call is over - let's move on!"
