How do you guys see this play?

If a coach is anywhere in live ball territory, they must not interfere with the defense's ability to make an out, even if they are in the coach's box.

If F5 was hindered by the bump with the coach, AND F5 had an opportunity to make an out, I'd have INT and an out. If there was no chance in hell that F5 could've made a play, then I've got nothing.

The key to this is recognizing the fact that the coach's box is not a sanctuary. They MUST still get out of the way of the defense, or they will risk getting an INT call.

If F5 had an opportunity to make a play on the runner, you would have made the right call if you called INT.

Absolutely correct. Good pickup.
