Dash, Sorry, gotta disagree

Two wrongs don't make a right here.

A. The second we have OBS on F3, from what I see on the play IMO I am going to move the BR to 2B.
B. He returns because he has no idea what he is going to get, which is fine, he was offended by F3.
C. But everything has to change when the BR gets an unfair advantage not allowed by the rules when the 1B coach shoves him physically to 2B.

The second the coach put his hands on the BR to assist him, he broke a rule. It has to be enforced. There is no insulation from any rules violation penalty because someone did something to you.

If it was FB, we would offsetting fouls, in hoops it's a false double foul, in soccer you would have a drop ball to restart play. In Baseball, there is no way to balance each sides violations, you have to enforce both of them.
