Sam:
What I am seeing here is that the PU was in fact the one that actually impeded play. As has been pointed out, he should have never called time. By doing so, it was his mistake. He killed the play. Therefore, the only correct thing to do is to place the runners back on the base they last legally touched.
I also agree with WMB's assessment that it should have been apparent that the coach would be fixing to call time in this situation, to a seasoned ump anyway. But, as Glen stated, this was a first year ump, which is probably why we are discussing this in the first place.
