Well, I'd say that the coach can only say/ask so much, as whether or not something was obstruction is still a judgment call. The coach could say something like, "blue, I think there may have been obstruction on that play. Could you ask your partner?"
If the BU has his Smart Cap on, he'd confer with the PU. Doesn't mean he'll change his call, but at least the fact that the two umps talked it over shows that the BU wanted to get the call right.
Let's face it: we don't always have the angles, no matter how hard we try. It's never a bad idea to confer with your partner if it's a matter of angle.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
