a) Make the call (OUT). If the coach requests, you go to your parter for help.
b) Make the call (SAFE), and then check with your partner on your own.
c) Point to your partner (giving up the call).

My answer is a variation of B.
I'm not going to do anything on the tag/no tag. I will let the play finish, then go to my partner with the question - DID YOU SEE A TAG? My call will be made as a result of the answer.
I will also watch the succeeding actions of the BR and/or fielder. If the BR gives up running and starts for the dugout, I'm calling the out. If the fielder reaches for the tag, then turns and throws the ball to first, I will make the call based on what happens at first base.
