Sounds like nobody really knew what was going on and perhaps F4 wasn't making an appeal.... and the offensive coach got away with one by acting like it was a deadball and sending his runner back to 2nd.
Of course during the flight of the ball, you and your partner should be talking. PU should take the tag of R3. BU should take that tag of R2. As PU you should get up the 3rd baseline so you can see both catch and tag as much as possible. BU should easily see both 2nd and the catch for his judgement.

Very good supplement, but where did R3 and the BU come from? I hope you get out of the "tag is good" habit.
