Sounds like the base umpire has others priorities in life. But you have a responsibility to follow up with his supervisor, whomever that may be, and present your case. If this is an organized league, the umpires should be dressed properly and have a reasonable grip on the rules. If they follow FEDERATION, the high school rules group, your son was perfectly legal in his position. He only needs one foot on the line to be considered "in the field of play" and obviously not restricted to an area on or touching the bag.
Now blocking the bag is a completely different can of worms. That's a whole different subject for discussion.
