I'm with Andy on the home plate collision. He beat me to posting it.
The "crash" rule is for when a fielder has the ball and is waiting to make a tag. The description we're getting here says that the catcher "stepped toward the runner".
Would there have been any contact/collision if the catcher had not stepped toward the runner (into the runner's path)?
Not all contact is illegal contact.
