Maybe just a stop sign type signal to the coach to wait a minute? That might convey that you heard him, but need to wait to address him, but it could also be interpreted as an aggressive move....

Tough situation, to be sure....
Exactly, there is no perfect way to handle this. I think the umpire in this game did fine.

So is the defense for not trying to put her out. Equally guilty in fact.

Can you think if any other instance that you would verbally communicate directly with a coach during a live ball?
As a former coach and long time player, I can tell you that any batter who hits a ball down the line should take off until he hears foul or the base coach sends him back to the plate.
