With runner on third stealing home (or squeeze play), catcher obstruction award is runner scores, batter on first, any other runner advances only if forced. What option do you think coach can find better than that? CO is only ignored if all that happens anyway.
On catcher's OB the runner advances only if forced with batter being put on 1st. That's where the coach is given the option. result of the play or B1 awarded 1st and runners advanced if force.
this is from memory as my rule book is 15 miles away right now so if I got it wrong can some of you gurus jump in here.
