I think we should be able to agree, the coach needs to make sure his pitchers (and rest of the team) are paying attention, as this play was an inexcusable lapse on the defenses part.

Both feet in the pitcher's circle (both partially in or on the line is OK) is different than both feet in the batter's box (both must be completely within at the start of the pitch).
