What I am seeing here is that the PU was in fact the one that actually impeded play. As has been pointed out, he should have never called time. By doing so, it was his mistake. He killed the play. Therefore, the only correct thing to do is to place the runners back on the base they last legally touched.

I also agree with WMB's assessment that it should have been apparent that the coach would be fixing to call time in this situation, to a seasoned ump anyway. But, as Glen stated, this was a first year ump, which is probably why we are discussing this in the first place.

Scott,

Negative, BU called time when he saw her[coach] aproaching, already
acorss the line, between R1 and 3rd base. The OBS had actually already
occurred since R1 and even her pitcher were completely confused. I did not
assume the coaches intentions.

Thanks for reply.
