The proper award is home. While it is true that once the runner touches an awarded base, she cannot return to touch a base missed or left too soon, it is false that she cannot do so the minute the ball goes dead. This is why umpires are instructed to wait until all obvious attempts of a runner to complete one's base running tasks before announcing an award. If this runner was already beginning to return when the umpire announces the award, she should not be ruled out on the appeal assuming she corrects any errors made in the prior play. And, as usual, Bretman is correct, a coach cannot make this appeal.

And the moral of the story is ... (as Cecil said) do NOT rely on Referee Magazine on being correct. Ever.

This was my first issue. If this is a sign of things to come, I have a feeling I won't be renewing my subscription.

But that column they have about the rules is notoriously wrong.

But the insurance is worth it, even if you rarely read the mag.
