I've never had a coach ever ask why I didn't call a botched catch a strike yet, and if one ever does question it, I'll tell him it takes a catcher and a pitcher to make a strike.
I am talking about extreme borderline pitches which I was considering calling a strike, but the catcher made it look horrible and way off the plate. I just feel that the catcher should have made a better effort to help his pitcher.
