Agree that it is the proper procedure when the runner misses the plate
and the fielder misses the tag. In that case, our safe signal is a ruling on the tag attempt.
Bugg clearly states that there was no tag attempt made by the catcher. Thus, there is nothing to signal.
Interesting point and question about how NSA might handle this play. You guys that work baseball would be familiar with that. There, if the runner is actively scrambling back to touch the plate (or, first base after overrunning it, for that matter) an actual tag is required. You can't get the out just by stepping on the plate with the ball unless the runner is making no attempt to come back and touch.
