As I read his post, he wasn't. Defensive coach wanted it called that, but it wasn't.
In this case, "behind" refers to a line drawn between the two defensive players on either side (F3 and F4), NOT a line parallel to the baseline where F4 can push the BU further back. It is only umpire interference if struck with batted ball in front of that line; and he wasn't.
So, not umpire interference, therefore he is now part of the field. Live ball, play on.
