Not clear how many umpires there were from the writeup, but if there is one at 3b he should have seen, and if it was 2 man the PU would have responsibility over there.

PU has this responsibility no matter how many umpires, he has nothing else to watch.

Don't see how they could call interference since he didn't help the runner at all. Now if he had pushed him, or did anything else to help, you could make the call.

And then to let a coach talk you into a call, that's poor. Umpire must have been in over his head.
