A runner that has rounded and failed to touch the base in passing is assumed to have touched that base and can only be called out on appeal, which he was. Don't listen to the coach.
I don't do FED ball but I think you are misinterpreting 8-4-2N. That rule is only used when the runner leaves the baseline to AVOID A TAG, which this runner didn't. The rule explains to you what his baseline actually is and the avoidence is measured from that line. G.
