I'll add this
I have had similar situations where a coach wants an appeal to the other official, I have always worked like this. I'll give a recent example.
I'm PU
Close play at third with an over slide and reach back, Runner definatly out by approx 3 inches on the reach back tag, but clearly safe on the original play. BU can't see over slide and tag and calls him safe. Offense coach comes out, calls time and walks to the BU tells him his version of events and calmly asksthat he may want to ask partner for help, BU does,, and calls me over, I call him down to me and meet him half way, no players no coaches, I tell him that 1st ofall does he want my opinion, he doesn't have to ask, he says yes, I tell him what i saw and say, it's your call, if you want to changethen do so, if you don't then don't, I'm behind you either way. This ump changed the call, delt with the upset coach and that was that.
I would never ever change any umps call, If they want to they can, but I'm not changing anything.
