Why is the coach on the field if you havent awarded time?

I must have missed something. Why wouldn't there be a coach at 3B?

The missing part is the disposition of the BR. Where was she doing during this?

Sorry, read it as catcher talking to coach with the pitcher at the circle.

BR had reached the base somewhat coinciding with the catcher reaching the pitcher - in both cases I don't believe she was going, but in the case where R1 turned around to talk to coach, she was definitely already at first base (since LBR was in my head at this point, I had obviously been watching for that first).

Because there's a new rule that allows the offense to have a coach near first base and near third base. Pretty cool, actually - some fields put a chalk box to tell them where to stand, even.
