I've had plays where the runner slides, reaches over the glove and touches the base before making contact with the glove during the slide. Everyone is watching the ball beat the runner to the base, the fielder lay the glove in front of the bag and don't understand my safe call.
Chat with DC goes something like this:
DC: Safe? How can she be safe? You had to see her slide into the tag!
Me: Yes the runner is safe. She's safe because the runner reached over your fielder’s glove that was in front of the bag and tagged the base. You're right coach, I did see the runner slide into the tag. Right after the runner reached over the glove and grabbed the base, she slid into the glove.
