The guy has a bad angle, the coach asks him to ask you for some help, and although you had more information, you refused to provide it? Instead, how about tell him "Yes, I had a better angle on that play and I had him out." Then let him make up his mind what to do with that information.

It sounds like instead of treating him like your partner, you treated him as the competing umpire on the field.
We're talking about a simple play at third here, one the the BU should be standing in the perfect position for.

I'd be shocked if someone wanted "help" on this. If the ball beat the runner and the glove was in place, how could the BU miss this? We don't just call a runner safe just because we don't have the perfect view of runner sliding into the tag....
