Alot is being made about the umpire not scurrying back to his position. If you notice..as soon as he makes the out call...he starts to take a couple steps backward, even starting to turn sideways...indicating to me he is heading back to his position, when the 3rd base coach comes out on him.
Umpire stops...both have their say..and moves on. About the only thing I see is maybe he couldve shut down the coach a bit quicker, holding up a hand, tell him to get his carcass back in the box.
Run him for that? Yeah, I guess maybe, if he says one of the magic words.
But your much better served on game management if you dont. Because the way it plays here...the throw comes in..looks like an out..you whack it.
Coach voices his momentary displeasure...you give him a quick "nope...tag was there"...and its over.
Makes it look like you handled everything start to finish, that your the one in control.
