Ours is opposite... HS Varsity - Runner at 1st steals, catcher pops up and throws, SS is nowhere to be found, ball goes into CF. Coaches pull catcher off to the side to "talk" to her. Nothing is said to the SS..... Go figure!!!
Did CF back up the throw properly to prevent the runner from advancing further?Ours is opposite...

The catcher cannot hesitate on that throw EVER. It has to be automatic. If the SS doesn't get there for whatever reason, the runner was going to be safe anyway.
Yes the CF was there, the point is the HS Coach jawing at the catcher for throwing it, and not to the SS for not covering.
