Third base coach - video

This happened in a game yesterday and I found it interesting. The runner is Jake McCarthy 96 speed 88 baserunning aggression. Manage mode. Baserunning is auto.
He would have scored easily except the 3b coach gave the stop sign and then changed to the go sign which caused me to think about 3b coach attributes. Perhaps a baserunning grade for 3b coaches would be a clever addition. For example a good 3b couch would not give McCarthy the stop sign and then the go sign leading to an out at home plate.
I know it is unlikely to happen because they have a long list of things on the table for franchise mode but it would be a nice addition.

@sullivanspring_MLBTS the 3B coach is distracted by the jacket that they make him wear. Despite the multiple calls to fix it. @SDS_JoeK_PSN why hasn't it been fixed yet?

@ralph13m_PSN lol they’re too busy coming up with new cards or whatever for the cash cow mode that is Diamond Dynasty

@javsrox05_PSN agreed. To the detriment of the people who played this game since David Wright.

A couple more examples. I love the game and am not complaining - just trying to figure this out. In the first video the baserunner was out because he did what the 3B coach told him to do. Again - this is manage mode. Baserunning and fielding all auto. My team running the bases.
In this video he is out because he ignored the 3B coach.

In this video the 3B coach does nothing. Just stands and watches as the runner tried to score from second base on a sacrifice fly. You can see the shortstop catch the ball as the runner is stepping on third base.

My theory is the third base coach is just eye candy and the runner's baserunning attribute what matters? In the first video the baserunner did what the coach signaled. Second video the baserunning ran through the stop sign. Third video the coach gave no signal.
