My association recommends this mechanic in these situations:
Play happens at 1B, BU in infield, has some doubt about a pulled foot.
BU (to PU): "Did you see a pulled foot?"
PU: "No."
BU: "Then the batter's out!"
This question gets a yes/no answer, and it's about what PU saw: if he was watching something else (OBS/INT, for instance), he can still say no, he didn't see a pulled foot.
I'm not certain I like the mechanic overall -- I was trained to get my own call first, and ask for help later -- but I understand its rationale.
