FED game, two man crew, runners on first and second, I'm in "C". Pitcher throws a pitchout, catcher throws behind runner at first, runner at first dives back towards the bag.
I know home plate umpire has the best angle, but according to FED mechanics, who should make the call? This happened last night. I made the call from "C", albeit an easy call to make because the runner was caught sleeping.

ONLY softball mechanic I know if is BU covering this call. IF PU has lefty batter, could easily get blocked from a good view...plus they have to watch for the pitch, check swing, obstruction/interference, illegal pitch, etc.
My question: Would anyone go to partner for help (as BU) if coach says, "Blue, you're angle is bad on that play, could you check with partner because you were blocked on the tag?"
