Just for the record, I am against the ump giving the TD signal in most cases.
However, just because the U signals the TD, that does not mean it is set in stone. Yes, it looks really, really bad to wave it off, and you have a whole lot of explaining to do, but you can always rule him down afterward. That being said, it does not look any better if one wing signals TD, and the other does not because the runner's knee was down.
