With regard to what happened during the huddle, if anyone has tivo, take a look.

What I saw was a couple of seconds into the huddle, one of the umpires (it was not West or Marsh; I think it was actually Nelson) made a gesture toward the dugout and appeared to say something like "so [Jeter] goes back" and you couldn't see the rest.

I turned immediately to my wife and said, "A Rod is out; their talking about putting Jeter at first." They continued to caucus for a while, but at least the way I saw it Marsh had announced his revised call very quickly and the huddle continued, at least in part to discuss the distinction in the rule between a TOP resoration and the BR failing to reach first.
