2. Coach is in third base box with a runner on third... slow grounder to F5.. Coach and runner are moving down line towards home (with coach lagging behind runner.... F5 gets to ball and coach starts hollering "here" "here" F5 looks at coach... runner goes by to score and F5 is late on the throw for third out at first.

I was base umpire for #1 and plate umpire for #2.... sucks to be me. (BTW: no complaints at us for these calls (or lack of calls) and I was told that I did the right thing on #2.

But dammnit it just doesn't seem right.
1. NCB, know you, not your partner, I hope you had a dead ball with an
interference all and if less than two outs awarded the DP.

2. Again DB, Coach interference. Again get two if less than two.

NCB, What did you do on #2?

Having fun yet? Wayne behaving?
