HC gets a little leeway here... but an assistant coach going ballistic will be immediately ejected in any ballpark, any level, by 99% of the umpires around, self included.

(PS - one note on the actual sitch... did you actually see F3 touch the bag? And if he did, in fact, miss the base, would R1 have been out, since now his out is a force? How nice would it have been to have ASSistant coach go ballistic, you change the call, decide BR is safe, and ring up R1 instead... )
Doesn't everybody just hate it when someone quotes words you didn't use, take others out of context by omitting words in between other words, and then make a point already made?

I just ignore assistants, screaming or calmly speaking, until they say "you're terrible" and then they are disrespectfully addressing an umpire. And I think I already made that point.

You ignore people screaming at you?

May I borrow that? I like that one!!

In RE: Actually tagging 1B

From my view, yes F3 got the second-base side of the bag when he jabbed at it.

In retrospect, however, since I was about 75'-80' away from the play, the angle I took may have been just right to "see" the jab step hit the edge of the bag when in reality it might have been 6"-12" in front and to the side of the bag.

In any case, BR is and remains out to this very day because, in my timely judgement, F3 with the ball securely in his possession, tagged 1B with his foot before the BR reached the base.
