Our HS association can't agree on this one. I like to make the call as BU and then if coach asks for appeal on pulled foot, swipe tag, etc., I can get together with my partner and talk about it.
The problem with the point is this: some veterans and a lot of new umpires won't come back immediately with yes or not, they just stand there looking stupid, then say something. It may be the right call, but it looks like he/she is making it up.
We always stress pre-game conference, and this is one thing that must be covered in the pre-game.
