Of course, that brought all the heat on me.
I'm all for "make the call and let the coaches ask." In this case, I would have also accepted: "She is out if she held the base, partner, did she hold the base." That is making a call, and then asking for more info on his own (accepted by the NCAA manual). But he did neither, and brought his (and his crew/partner's) credibility down. We had a long post game about it (as he wants to start moving up).

Why didn't you take a step or two to your left or right so you weren't blocked by the catcher and batter-runner? Or were you not really blocked and they were only in front of you? If the former, improve the positioning. If the latter, not relevant.
