PENALTY FOR INTERFERENCE: The runner is out and the ball is dead.

NFHS Rule 3 Sec 2 Art. 2 . . . No coach shall physically assist a runner during playing action.
PENALTY: The ball is dead at the end of playing action. The involved batter-runner or runner is out and any additional outs made on the play stand. Runners not put out return to bases occupied at the time of the infraction.

BRD has PBUC reference that the ball remains live for both outs and advances. WUM mentions that the ball is left in play. NCAA is the same.

Contact is not disallowed at any level on a play like this.

ASSISTANCE is not allowed on any level on a play like this.

Contact that tells a player when to run has always been considered assistance.

Two things. One, I don't know why F5 didn't just tag R2 to end the game. Two, I used to run an end of practice drill every practice for about 8 minutes. Everyone lines up at 3B and one at a time we practice "GO" and "STOP". If they were not tired before the drill, they were after. During games I did not need to get anywhere near a runner to get one to GO or STOP.

When could F5 have tagged R2?

I don't know if I would have called INT there. Really don't know.

ace in PA

The coach tapped the runner to wake him up and get him to run...if that isn't physically assisting, I'm not sure what is.

That was more than a tap.
It was a push.
