R3 & R2, 0 out, count on the batter is 1-1. Coach comes out of the dugout, approaches the foul line but does not cross it. He calls to F1 to put the batter on, then turns and goes back into the dugout. The caller asked if this would be considered a trip.
I thought it would be interesting what others would do here. So what do you say, is it a trip?

No. According to MLBUM a trip begins when the manager or coach crosses the foul line. The trip ends when the manager or coach leaves the circle.
This is not a trip.
