Glad I Was Not There

Wrong.

The coach had the rule wrong and convinced the umpire to rule in her favor. The coach of the offense did not know enough to have the rule correctly applied.

All erred. The runner should not have been called out.

I wrote that poorly. I did not intend to say that the coach knew the rule and had the umpires apply it correctly, which I now see is how I wrote my original post.

The coach argued the runner should've been called out (which is incorrect) and the umpires did call the runner out (incorrectly). The coach did admit she knew that wasn't correct but she argued it anyways.
