Junky: Just because an umpire changes his call after asking his partner does not mean that the other umpire "over ruled" him

Re-read the original posting. BU called the runner safe; after discussion PU called the runner out.

I would call that over-ruling - and unacceptable. Regardless of what goes on in the discussion; the umpire making the original call will announce the decision. Stay with the call, or change it; but it is by the calling umpire, not the partner.
