I did say that if the runner does not beat the play, he is out. No flipping involved. Leave me out of the flipping. If the runner's foot...

The whole point is, you have to make either a safe or and out call. You can't tell the coach that both events happened at the same time. Yes, there are times that the way the play was made enters...
