catcher obstruction
the rule states co is enforced if batter doesn't reach 1st and all other runners do not advance at least 1 base.
The fact that she swings and misses is probably BECAUSE of the obstruction.
The instructor was wrong. You would award the batter 1st base and 3rd and home to the runners. It doesn't matter if they were attempting to steal or not.
Unless of course the coach chose the result of the play but why would he?
