Play #1 - you said the coach came out "with rule in hand, where there is a rule comment that a pitcher may throw to an unoccupied base with R1 and R3, regardless of whether the runners are in motion." Huh? Where did he find this in print, or did he print it himself after he typed it out?
Pitchers can only throw to an unoccupied base to attempt to retire an advancing runner or to make an appeal.
Play #2
FED Rules page 53 - The Baserunning Awards Table
OBR - Sorry, can't find it right now.
PBUC - nothing listed.
