Around here, once a game starts, the PU is in charge. UIC walking up to call a game due to darkness would have no more weight than Little Susie's grandfather walking up to call a game due to darkness. (Now, a PU not heeding UIC's "suggestion" might be a post-game discussion point ... but the UIC absolutely has no field-authority during a game, unless it is a tournament AND it is a protest situation).
