Tim.

1. The defense has 10 young men in LBT, how rare.
2. One of the ten young men has a driver's license, how odd.
3. This person was clearly standing "outside" his box.
4. The correct call was not verbal obstruction, it was time.

Now let me stop. I would have nullified the play, sent the baserunner who was tagged out back to his previous legally obtained base, granted the coach time and told him in a loud voice for all to hear, "You killed it." The coach deserved no better.
