Sounds like the coach, who was out of the box, interfered with the throw home as he was getting up.

That isn't what they are arguing about though. They are citing incorrectly that it is interference if the runner simply plows into the base coach. The winning coach said he was arguing for interference because of the initial collision, not the prevention of a throw home. The article and subsequent comments are murky, so absent a video, it's a YHTBT.
