"I think there would have been a lot less controversy if the base umpire had asked if there was a tag and the plate umpire had immediately said, "yes" and called the runner out."

I agree that this would have shown that the officiating team was together on this and the best possible call that could have been made, was.

Now to ask what the correct mechanic is for this situation, on this forum, will most likely end up being another record-setter in replies. Good Luck

IMO, I would have chosen the method you suggested above.
