True, one umpire can't overrule another's call. That does not mean the calling umpire can't ask his partner what he saw and change his orginal call based upon that information.
As long as a coach asks the calling umpire to consider getting help in a calm, respectful manner, I don't have a problem with it. Now if this is a regular occurrence after every close call, I'm not as likely to consider going for help.
c-ump6, umpires don't eject each other from the game.
