Sounds like a great way to get new players to fall in love with the game [/sarcasm]
If it's any consolation, things tend to mellow out in the years ahead.
Interference from a base coach?

He is absolutely wrong. I can guarantee he wouldn't stand there if my oldest dd was trucking down the line. She made a name for herself when an opponent was doing that the whole first couple innings. So we're in the 3rd inning, and the blue still wouldn't correct her after repeated requests. My DD was up, this girl did it again and purposely blocked the baseline with no play in her area or coming to her...BOOM!!!
It looked like a car wreck. Lol
That girl went flying backwards, and DD took 2nd. That was the last time she pulled that crap... The opposing team was screaming of course.... Blue said incidental contact. Lol
Incidental my a$$... DD steam rolled her. Lol

This is the odd ball stuff you hear about in softball that just does not seem to happen in baseball. First D3K when catcher peeled back to throw from foul territory the first baseman would go to set up on the outside of the base and put his spikes right down on that coaches foot and that would be the last time he stood there. Sometimes you just have to police the game as the situation dictates...he has no business being that close to the bag

Crock of bull.
The coach's boxes are 8' off the line. Like the batter's box, 3' lane and every other line on the field, they exist whether marked or not.
The coach must be in the box prior to the pitch in all associations. The umpire should tell the coach to get in the box or leave the field and if he will not do that, he is ejected. And if you have umpires who will not do that, I suggest you find new umpires.

Agree! Coaches like that just send them away ...
Sorry, but this made me laugh. Are you sure you didn't mean to put your [/sarcasm] tag at the end of this line??
I know you know this, but this could (should??) just as easily get your daughter tossed for malicious contact.

Picture the big "tough guy" bully standing right on the bag refusing to move with a smerk on her face, daring anyone to "do something about it"
I don't like bullies, and neither do my dd's. We will and usually do "something about it"!!!
If you (or anyone) doesn't like it... don't be a bully and we'll get along great
DD was not tossed, BTW and the bully girl didn't pull that crap again... at least not against us
Too bad the coach (or ump?) didn't so his/her job and correctly position the 1B player. If you want to take care of it yourself by having your daughter barrel her over instead, have at it. I'm just pointing out that that could result in your daughter getting tossed for malicious contact.
if it went down as you say she should have been ejected ... and OBS called of course
