As long as the defense doesn't yell "back, go, that was a foul ball" or something that is
actually directed to the offense, there is no verbal obstruction. The defense yelling, "Get the ball!" is not directed to the offense and as another said, it is the offense's job to know the game situation and where the ball is. Add to that, the base coaches should be on their toes looking at what is going on.
This play is 100% legal.
