Joel: Take a look in the Umpire section of the 2001 ASA rule book, page 207 & 208. Because it is the PU responsibility, the BU when helping the PU, should declare DEAD BALL, then shpould hesitate slightly to allow the PU the opportunity to make the call. After the hesitation, if the PU has not made the call,the BU should respond with FOUL BALL call and take the PU off the hook. This represents foul ball/dead balls but I think it could be applied in this threads application as well.
