BR thinks she is out and steps off. Coach at 3rd wants a ruling on the D3k. Time is called and PU goes to confer with FU. He states that he didn't see it. After a discussion it is ruled that the ball hit the ground first before the catch.

Question
Should BR be called out for a LBR violation??
Like the previous two times, if there is an LBR violation, call it; And that is why there is a coach @ 1B

Same as Mike said, plus the dust/non-visibility.
Looks to me like the dust caused "never guess an out".
