So, is the touch of home more important when the runner may easily acquire it, or is the touch of 3B more important to watch? Is there any mechanic that says one is more important than the other? Which "miss" is more likely to occur and have bearing on the play?

Again, a coach doesn't necessarily know which base the official will be watching, and to risk this LL trick with 2 runners in scoring position is not the sign of good coaching. In fact, I see it moreso a reflection of what would be expected of a LL coach who learned a new trick but doesn't really comprehend the potential liability, but wants to show others what he knows about the game.....LOL.

Good coaching is teaching solid mechanics of play.
There is no need to intertwine "tricks" of the game.
Doing so merely proves a coach's inability.


Just my opinion,
