O coach complains about the double call and BU simply says that he didn't see it, so that's why he was calling safe and said my call was the correct one.
Soooo, how could we have avoided this double call mess?

Proper umpire communication could have helped avoid the "double call"
As I understand-this is BU call not PU call.
BU can ask PU for help if necessary.
IMO: I would rather have "no call" instead of "opposite" calls and have the umpires speak with each other to get call correct.
