My mechanics on that play are to point at the bag with my left hand to indicate that the overhand out call is coming. While everyone is focused on my left hand I then glance at my partner to see where s/he is facing, if it's at me or the bag I'll point to them with my right hand and ask "Do you have a pulled foot?" to which they answer yes or no and I then finish my call. It is important that you ask in a fashion that they answer yes or no because it is YOUR call. Do not ask for safe or out because you might get "I didn't see it" back at you! The way I ask they answer yes if they see a pulled foot but if they couldn't/didn't see the play you give them the oportunity to answer "No, I do not."
Never, ever ask them to make your call.
