Too many times things are "over thought"...it's interference plain and simple.

Defensive coach discussion is easy "Coach that was a foul ball, can't have interference with a foul ball" not much to grieve over there.
BUT, I ask you what are you going to say to the offensive manager when he asks:
Coach: Blue was the ball in foul territory when the contact was made?
You: Yes (cause it was)
Coach: Then that is a foul ball you can't call my runner out on a foul ball.
Now we have a protestable situation misinterp of the rules. The defensive manager could never get you to a protest, at least not one that you would lose in this situation. Check all the rules references given in this thread to make yourself feel better that the by rule call is a foul ball.
