I'm a newbie here but have been officiating ASA JO Fastpitch for several years. I have to agree with Mike Rowe on both the interference call and the coach assisting the runner as she rounded first. A pat on the back as the runner rounds first could easily be interpreted as a non-verbal signal to proceed to second in case the runner hadn't heard the coach's voice telling her to continue. Not a pat-on-the-back for a job well done, but illegal assistance to the runner.
