Unfortunately on this one, if "the umpire did not believe there was a valid attempt to make a tag", he was sorely mistaken, as there was an ACTUAL tag.

The arguers over there are insane sometimes. To me - our job of officiating includes telling people what we see when we see it. If we see an attempted tag, but no actual tag - we should tell them what we saw by at LEAST signalling safe. I don't like "No Tag" (or any 2-word call that includes the opposite 1-word call)... people don't always heare the no... just the Tag part. I'd rather just say no and signal safe on a play like this one...

(Well .. on a play EXACTLY like this one, I'd hope I'd actually call the player out!)
