Forget his response; it wouldn't stand up. In my state, there are no protests of high school games, so, whatever.
But, if the umpires stated they failed to declare "no catch", then they could also allow that they put the runner in jeopardy by delaying a call, and could award the appropriate base. If a call was made, then blame the base coach, and declare the runner out.
