Is this the proper way to ask for help?



I feel obliged to mention that the right answer is for the base umpire to get his a$$ into position and get the call right himself.
There's your answer..

My comment to the BU after the game on this sit, was "Go ahead and make the call, and if coach wants you to get help from me, then get it".

I just felt that yelling "Foot" was just like saying "He's safe, right?" Well, if you think he's safe why you yelling?

Obviously...clear communication is the key. Thanks everyone.
