My understanding is the 3rd base coach

is primatily responsible for watching the pitcher for illegal pitches until the ball is pitched. After the pitch, he can watch for foul balls, and other stuff. It can be debated as to whether there was any outside influence on him or the timing of his calls, but he was the umpire responsible for looking for illegal pitches.

133178. I was watching the game but didn’t even notice that to be honest.

Can you imagine if you ask the football or basketball boards to make nice

Great post! And if our paths ever crossed on the softball field, I'm sorry.
