The OC coach called time went and talked to the PU and asked why he didn't call IP. It was a 3-1 count runner on 2nd, and he call a strike on the pitch.

I was the senior official on site and told my partner the OC coach was right and make the awards.
Agreed - that's what you do in a scrimmage, not a game.
