Conflicting calls on the same play

[Steve M]

In a FUBAR'd play like this one, I've got BR on 1B and am putting R1 on 2B. Since I'm making the ruling, I'll put up with a little bit of stuff from the defensive coach and will not allow the coach to speak to my "partner". My partner is buying all of the after game refreshments and is going to leave that get together with a very large new opening in his backside.

One way on another, the defense has got to earn the out, and they didn't - no catch & F4 gave the ball to F1 instead of touching 2B. I can't get R1 for abandonment - never left live ball territory.
