Some say he should have been closer during the confrontation but I disagree.
On the audio we kept hearing everyone yelling to check with the other umpire and I'm sure the coach was asking for that as well. If BU came in closer it would give the appearance that either he wanted to say something or would fuel the fire even more if BU was so close and UIC still did not ask for help. In this situation I think the BU was very discerning.

When the chant "get some help" started, BU turned and headed for his position in short right-field. Around here, that's a sign for "I got nothing to help you."
My crticism of BU would center on his technique of herding the coach off the field. I think it was more than what was required and looked somewhat comical.
