Question

I had the first base coach snip at me, for not getting from C spot to the A spot on a 2-3 hopper, not hit that hard. He claimed 1st basemen pulled his foot off bag. Went to my plate partner for help, he didn't make a call, upholding My out call, as he said 1st base pulled up heel during stretch, but got heel back onto base, before for batter-runner reached 1st.
It's my 1st year of umpiring, but....On a high school sized field, it seems to me, it would be very difficult to:
A) Get from C spot to somewhere in area of A spot, to get angle on a pulled foot at 1st
B)Get over to 1st base area, to get any kind of angle on the play, where I can see 1st baseman pull foot.
I pulled coach over after next inning n asked em,
How he thought I could make it from C slot, to an angle to read 1st baseman foot off bag, he told me he's umped before, and I CAN MAKE IT OVER TO A, FROM C, on routine grounder to shortstop.
Unless I'm a fullsize giraffe, I see no way to get from C slot to A. Options being;
1)Sprint full speed to A spot
2)Get my head and body stopped from that full out Sprint
3)So...My opinion, To get body n head woed down to a stop, from a full sprint, n get in position to make call, seems highly unlikely to achieve
Imho that is.
Can somebody clarify this?
There was a runner at 2nd
plate ump, has is touch of 3rd, AND, A PULL OF FOOT BY FIELDER AT 1ST, CORRECT??!!?

My response to "I used to umpire" is "I used to coach"....

What noumpere said: angle over proximity. But you can't anticipate too much: suppose F6 throws to third to get the breaking R2--you have the first play in the infield. By the way, no way you woul

True, but only to a point. For one thing, I have seen rather wide variability in the quality for OHSAA rules interpreters, from awesome to habitually negligent and wrong. For another, I stand my
