As a coach i always instructed my catcher if he dropped third strike to step on the plate with bases loaded and 2 out. Seems like the umpire missed this one big time. what was the coaches reaction?

As soon as the play happened the offensive coach yelled the ball was dropped, the defensive coach started yelling tag the runner. Meanwhile the catcher was the smartest of them all by touching home but the umpire blew the call.

To top it off, the defensive coach apparently didn't know the rule either because he knew that home was touched first but didn't object.
