Interference from 3rd base coach?

If a third base coach is waving the runner in from 2nd base, and accidentally touches the runner on the back as he is rounding 3rd, is this interference and is the runner called out? This happened in my softball game tonight, and was wondering if the ump made the right call.

It could be, depends on the umpire's judgment. What you believe to be accidental may not have seemed so to the umpire or vice versa depending on which side of the call you stand.

Coach is supposed to be in the box, not where they can touch a runner.
