During my playing years I played against a team that would (occasionally) throw the ball to F3 after a BB. The timing of the throw was important. F3 would come up the line and as the BR passed, the catcher would throw a soft toss (ostensibly so the fielder's glove didn't make sound alerting the BR) who would then put the glove on the runner hoping they come off the base.

The other teams must have had sleeping 1B coaches.

Sometimes in the middle of a rally, things get loud. If the coach did say something, the player may have been too busy celebrating to pay attention.

And, maybe the coach was looking into the dugout for the next piece of strategy.

Clearly, it doesn't always work.

Lastly, you need an umpire who's paying attention.
