I have sympathy for players who have been drilled to go to the colored base and not the white, especially the younger ones as Dakota said. That is one time when I will "coach" and say "white base" before the pitch, particularly if the time lag is short. The time I would absoultely call the out is if the runner is using it to get a running start.
