DC (in 1B dugout, so at 3B line extended), absolutely sure of the tag, begs me to check with my partner (at the HP end of the rundown).
Sure I'll ask, coach, but he'll never convince me I didn't see space...

Then you should just told the coach "no", that you had everything you needed to make that call.
