Perhaps nothing should have happened, except play to resume and apologies for getting in the way of the play at the plate (as much as that sucks). Imagine the coach wasnt too happy with you, and he has every right to be. I do not want to interfere with the game, and make it about the umpires. I want to get in there, and let the players win/lose/eject themselves..etc. (no reason the catcher, with possession of the ball, should be behind you.. out of eyesight). Drop-step with catcher on past ball while keeping my eyes on ball and body opened up to player with ball, and move into a position to make call...best way Ive found to take play at plate on past-ball. At most, I would warn both teams so that it squashes the heat, puts you back in driver seat, and definitely dump the coach as soon as he went into stands to take a survey...never heard that before-

Dump the fielder for the blindside tackle on the runner attempting to score, and as long as it was settled quickly (of course there is going to be heat for a minute..the guy just got tackled coming into score by a fielder who didnt even have the ball, to say the least). Depending on the warning issued before it took place, and the head coach of the defensive team's mannerisms during the altercation you may have to dump the coach too. Let play resume. Drags out and both benches are throwing hands, then youre going to have team ejections, suspensions, etc.

All runners, including batter/runner, must advance at least one base safely before the "catcher int." can be ignored-- (same applies for a balk) Note: If coach brings it up, he can elect to have the play stand-

Make sure that youre in slot more-

B, but catcher interference is what it sounds like in question-

I am new to Umpire Empire. I am currently umpiring college and high school ball for Spring. I have used this site as reference for different purchases by being able to see your reviews. For that, I thank all of you that have input on equipment. I recently purchased a onyx etech e-bag Mother Lode 2.0 and will receive on Friday, and I followed your reviews for the purchase.
