Do we call her out on a LBR violation,even though we know she only came off only because she "thought" she was out? .... when in fact she was safe???

Would you call time and inform her that the ball wasn't caught and she was safe at 1st?
Just like in the other thread, that is why she has a coach. If it is a LBR violation, you call the out.
