Elaine,
I did not speak with him, as I was playing in the next game on his field (he switched to PU for my game) and did not think it was appropriate.
However, I am on a first name basis with his partner (we've attended ASA clinics together), who was PU on the play in question and the BU in my game. At the end of our game, I asked the blue that I knew if he and his partner -- the one who made the call in the prior game -- discussed that play after the game (luckily, the team who benefited from the bad call stranded the tying and winning runs on base in the 7th). The blue I know responded that he thought it was a judgment call and F-3 should not benefit from his own boot. I responded that I thought that was incorrect, and that F-3 could touch the orange base in that circumstance. I'll give my friend the case book cite next time I see him.
