"Coach, did you have a question?" is simple, direct and doesn't buy you an unneeded continuation of harassment or argument.
You're not reading CoachJM's response with the right tone.

I'm making this up as I go, so please bear with me. The PU then:
  1. Signals the strike out.
  2. Verbalizes the interference ("That's interference!").
  3. Calls time.
  4. Points to R2 and calls the out.
  5. Points to R1 and sends him back to first ("You, back to first.")
That about it?


No.

You have to wait for the play to finish between 2 and 3. If the initial throw retires the runner, then items 3-5 are ignored.
