I had a situation like this in a game this year where I was the PU. My partner called the BR safe, which got the coach yelling about a pulled foot. Partner told the coach he was 100% sure the foot did not come up (from my view he was absolutely correct). Coach comes up to me after the inning and asks what I saw...I told him I couldn't say anything then because my partner didn't ask, but even if he had F3 held the bag.

What I guess I'm saying is if the BU is 100% sure he's right, don't ask. If he thinks there's a legitimate gripe, he can ask. Asking doesn't hurt if he thinks there's a case- the PU can always say he had the play at third. It's probably better not to ask unless you're sure your partner had a clear view of the play. If he's distracted at all by the play at 2nd or R2, I would not ask.
