If during the discussion with the protest committee the ump or umps say they saw the passing but made no call. Is that a misrepresentative of the rule and is that protestable.

Thanks Dale
If it is a judgment call and a UIC is called to the field, you better know where the local liquor store is located!!!

Actually, if it is judgment there can be no protest regardless of what the coach wants. However, when I'm talking "judgment", I am sole referring to a call which requireds judgment, not on whether you "judged" that a rule should or should not apply. Don't laugh, I've seen it.

If an umpire sees a violation and does not call it, that is not a judgment call, but a misapplication, or non-application if you prefer, of the rules and is very protestable.
