It is my humble opinion that the HC learned his lesson about keeping his mouth shut., and that the "foul tip" signal means just that and not foul ball.

No one is forgetting. But, once your partner confirmed it to be a foul ball, he put the runner in jeopardy worse than the coach. The runner still had a chance to turn around. But, once the umpire says foul, what runner is going to question that?
